The 2026 Copa de Primera (officially the Copa de Primera Tigo ueno bank Apostala 2026 for sponsorship reasons) is the 92nd season of the División de Honor, the top-flight professional football league in Paraguay. The season, which consists of two tournaments (Apertura and Clausura), began on 23 January and is scheduled to end on 29 November 2026. The fixture draw for both of the season's tournaments was held on 3 December 2025.

In the Torneo Apertura Olimpia were the champions, clinching their forty-eighth league title with three matches in hand after a 1–1 draw with Sportivo Ameliano and a 2–1 loss for Cerro Porteño against Recoleta on 3 May. Cerro Porteño entered the season as defending champions, having won the 2025 Clausura tournament.

Teams

Twelve teams compete in the season: the top ten teams in the relegation table of the 2025 season and the top two teams in the 2025 Paraguayan División Intermedia.

Team changes

General Caballero (JLM) and Tembetary were relegated to the second tier league División Intermedia after ending in the bottom two places of the relegation table at the end of the 2025 season, and they were replaced by the 2025 División Intermedia champions Rubio Ñu and runners-up San Lorenzo.

Rubio Ñu, who returned to the top flight after 8 years, clinched promotion with a 1–0 win over Sportivo Carapeguá on 14 September 2025, while San Lorenzo returned to the Copa de Primera for the first time since 2020 by defeating Fernando de la Mora on 4 October 2025, the final matchday of the División Intermedia tournament.
