All statistics correct as of 17 March 2020.

On 16 March 2020, the Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (ANFP) announced the suspension of the Primera B as well as the rest of its tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, starting from 18 March 2020.[1]

Format

The tournament is played by 15 teams, 14 returning from the previous season and the Segunda División Profesional champions San Marcos de Arica. The 15 teams will play each other twice (once at home and once away) for a total of 28 matches, with one team having a bye day in each round. The team that finishes in first place at the end of the round-robin tournament will earn promotion to the Campeonato Nacional for the 2021 season as Primera B champions. Meanwhile, the teams finishing from second to sixth place will play a playoff tournament for the second promotion berth, with the season runners-up having a bye to the final.

Since no teams were relegated at the end of the previous season, a weighted table that considers the performance of teams in the previous season as well as the current one will be elaborated to decide relegation. The team finishing in bottom place of this table at the end of the season will be relegated to the Segunda División Profesional.[2][3]

Promoted team San Marcos de Arica will only have their points in the 2020 season averaged, without weighting. The team placed last in this table at the end of the season will be relegated.[3]

gollark: Bronze would be renamed to copper, obviously, and we'd need a platinum dragon.
gollark: Neglected Trophy, Prize Trophy, Nocturne Trophy?
gollark: Also, gold lunar heralds coming Soon™.
