The season, named "100 Años del Club Oriental", started on 16 March and is scheduled to end in December 2024. A total of 14 teams compete in the season; the top two teams and the winner of the promotion play-offs will be promoted to the Uruguayan Primera División.[1] The fixture draw for the season was held on 2 March 2024.[2]

Plaza Colonia were the champions, winning their first Segunda División title as well as promotion to Primera División after defeating Oriental by a 2–1 score on 16 November, the final day of the regular season.[3] The second promoted team was Montevideo City Torque, who defeated Uruguay Montevideo in a tiebreaker series for the last direct promotion spot.[4]

Torneo Competencia

[edit]

The Torneo Competencia, named "Héctor Peri", was the first stage of the tournament. The 14 participating teams were divided into two groups of seven where they played each one of the teams in their group under a single round-robin format. The winners of each group advanced to the final, with the winner being assured of a berth into the promotion play-offs.[6] Originally, the participating clubs had decided not to hold the Torneo Competencia in this season, however it was eventually reinstated after a vote prior to the start of the season.[2]
