The 1948 season of the Peruvian Primera División, the top category of Peruvian football, was played by 9 teams. The national champions were Alianza Lima.[1][2][3]

Competition format

All teams faced each other in a triple round-robin format. The team that accumulated the highest number of points at the end of the season was automatically crowned champion, while the two teams with the fewest points were relegated to the Peruvian Segunda División.

Two points were awarded for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss.
