TL;DR
- Two teams will be relegated to Primera Nacional in 2025.
- Relegation is determined by the sistema de promedios and the tabla anual.
- The sistema de promedios considers points from 2023, 2024, and 2025 tournaments.
- The tabla anual reflects performance solely within the 2025 season.
Last year concluded with half the season missed due to the AFA's cancellation, but in this 2025, the drama of the fight to avoid the descensos returns to the First Division of fútbol argentino.
While with so many teams in the top division it's not that difficult to stay in the elite, relegation is a severe penalty right now: it means dropping to a second division with nearly 40 clubs and very few promotion spots to return to the forefront.
Bajan equipos en 2025
La temporada 2025, si no sufre modificaciones sobre la marcha como los últimos dos años, tendrá dos descensos a la Primera Nacional.
¿Cuál será el criterio para determinar los descensos y la permanencia en 2025?
Two separate tables will need to be monitored for the 2025 relegation battle. The worst team in the sistema de promedios, which considers the accumulated points of each team from the 2023 League Cup, the 2023 Professional League, the 2024 League Cup, the 2024 Professional League, and the 2025 Apertura and Clausura Tournaments (regular phase only), will be relegated to Primera Nacional, as will the team with the worst performance throughout the year, referred to as el peor equipo de la tabla anual del 2025.
