← 2024 2026 → |
The 2025 Argentine Primera División - Liga Profesional will be the 135th season of top-flight professional football in Argentina. The league season will begin on 26 January and will end on 14 December 2025.[1]
Thirty teams will 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 are the defending champions.
Competition format
[edit]The competition format for this season will consist of two tournaments or Torneos. In the first stage, the 30 teams will be drawn into two groups of fifteen teams each and will play on a single round-robin basis. In addition, each team will play two interzonal matches: the first against its rival from the other zone, and the second against a second team from the other group, 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.[4]
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.[5]

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) goals scored; 4) fair play ranking 5) drawing of lots.
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.
