In Panamanian football, the ANAPROF Apertura 2008 season (officially "Torneo Apertura 2008") started on February 22, 2008. San Francisco F.C. was the league champion, defeating Tauro F.C. 3–1 in the final.
Changes for Apertura 2008
- The league was split into two groups for the regular season with a 4-team playoff after the season was completed. The semifinals are two-leg playoffs, and the final is a single match. The 4 teams qualified for the playoff are decided based in an aggregate table.
- Group A is integrated by Atlético Chiriquí, Atletico Veragüense, San Francisco F.C., Plaza Amador and Municipal Chorrillo and Group B is integrated by Tauro F.C., Arabe Unido, Chepo F.C., Sporting San Miguelito and Alianza.
- The last team in the general standings will play a playoff against the champion of Primera A instead of facing direct relegation.
- The total numbers of games was reduced to 13 game weeks because the Panamanian football federation wanted to end the season as soon as possible in order to have all national team players ready for the 2010 World Cup qualification.
