Sixteen teams competed in the Primera División this season. Thirteen teams remained from the 2010–11 season. Miramar Misiones, Tacuarembó, and Central Español were relegated after accumulating the least amount of points in the relegation table. They were replaced by Rentistas, Cerrito, and Cerro Largo, the 2010–11 Segunda División winner, runner-up, and playoff winner, respectively. All of the new teams are making repeat appearances. All the teams in this season are from Montevideo, except Cerro Largo, who is from Melo.
