A method for performing coordinated transmission in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor are disclosed. Specifically, a method for receiving downlink control information (DCI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system may comprise the steps of: receiving the DCI from one of a plurality of base stations performing coordinated transmission to the UE; and receiving downlink data scheduled on the basis of the DCI from the plurality of base stations performing the coordinated transmission, wherein a separate transmission layer for the downlink data is transmitted from each base station included in the plurality of base stations, and single piece of information in the DCI indicates a total number of layers scheduled to the UE and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) grouping information associated with the separate transmission layer transmitted from each base station.
