The 2025 Argentine Primera División - Liga Profesional is the 135th season of top-flight professional football in Argentina. The league season began on 23 January and will end on 14 December 2025.[1]

Thirty teams compete in the league: twenty-eight returning from the 2024 season as well as two promoted teams from the 2024 Primera Nacional (Aldosivi and San Martín (SJ)).[2][3] Vélez Sarsfield were the defending champions, having won the 2024 Argentine Primera División tournament.

Platense won their first national league championship on 1 June 2025, after defeating Huracán 1–0 in the Torneo Apertura Final.[4]

During the Torneo Apertura, the referee Yael Falcón Pérez suspended the match Godoy Cruz vs. Talleres (C) (4 February 2025, 3rd round) before the start of the second half after the assistant referee Diego Martín was hit on the head by an object thrown from the stands of the Estadio Víctor Legrotaglie.[5] The AFA Disciplinary Court decided on 20 February 2025 to resume the match and play the second half on a date to be determined behind closed doors. Godoy Cruz were deducted three points and had to play six more games behind closed doors. They also had to pay the travel expenses of Talleres (C) and a fine.[6] The match was resumed at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas on 22 March 2025. On 8 April 2025, the Court of Appeals returned the three points to Godoy Cruz and ended the punishment of the closed-door games.[7]

On 21 April 2025, the AFA postponed three matches scheduled for that day in mourning for the death of Pope Francis. The postponed matches were played the following day. A moment of silence was also required before the start of all matches scheduled to be played from 22 April to 27 April.[8]

Competition format

[edit]

The competition format for this season will consist of two tournaments (Torneo Apertura and Torneo Clausura) each with five stages. In the first stage, the 30 teams have been drawn into two groups or zones of fifteen teams each and will play in a single round-robin format. In addition, each team will play two inter-zone matches: the first against its rival from the other zone, and the second against a second team, determined by a draw. The top eight teams in each group will advance to the round of 16. The final stages (round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final) will be played on a single-leg basis.[9]

The winners of the Torneo Apertura and Torneo Clausura will qualify for the 2026 Copa Libertadores as Argentina 1 and Argentina 2, respectively. Qualification for international tournaments will be determined by the overall standings of the 2025 Primera División.[10]

This season, two teams will be relegated to the Primera Nacional. One team will be relegated on the basis of coefficients, while the team that finishes at the bottom of the 2025 aggregate table will also be relegated.[11]

Fair play ranking; 6. Draw.[10]

Aggregate table

[edit]

International qualification

[edit]

The 2025 Torneo Apertura champions, 2025 Torneo Clausura champions and 2025 Copa Argentina champions will earn a berth to the 2026 Copa Libertadores. The remaining berths to the 2026 Copa Libertadores as well as the ones to the 2026 Copa Sudamericana will be determined by an aggregate table from the group stages of the 2025 Torneo Apertura and 2025 Torneo Clausura. The top three teams in the aggregate table not already qualified for any international tournament will qualify for the Copa Libertadores, while the next six teams will qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.[10]

Relegation

[edit]

In this season, the bottom team of the aggregate table will be relegated to the 2026 Primera Nacional. If two or more teams are level on points, extra matches will be played to decide which team will be relegated.

Relegation based on coefficients

[edit]

In addition to the relegation based on the aggregate table, one team will be relegated at the end of the season based on coefficients, which will take into consideration the points obtained by the clubs during the present season (aggregate table points) and the two previous seasons (only seasons at the top flight will be counted). The total tally will be then divided by the number of games played in the top flight over those three seasons and an average will be calculated. The team with the worst average at the end of the season will be relegated to Primera Nacional.
