Torneo Inicial
Torneo Final
TheTorneo Inicial was the first tournament of the season. It began on August 2 and ended on December 15, 2013. Originally the tournament should finish on December 8, butAFA decided to postpone two matches of the last round (Vélez Sarsfield-San Lorenzo and Newell's Old Boys-Lanús) one week asLanús had to play the2013 Copa Sudamericana final against Ponte Preta of Brazil.San Lorenzo won the title with a 0–0 draw at Vélez Sarsfield as outgoing champions Newell's Old Boys were held 2–2 in Rosario. San Lorenzo topped the Torneo Inicial with 33 points from 19 matches, two more than Vélez Sarsfield, Newell's Old Boys and Lanús. It was San Lorenzo's 12th league title in the professional era and first since the 2007 Clausura championship.[24][25]
Also in this tournamentColón were deducted six points after their denial to pay the fee that was agreed upon with Mexican sideAtlante overJuan Carlos Falcón back in 2007. Atlante decided to take this issue toFIFA and they won the case. Colón lost the appeal and were forced to pay US$600.000.[26][27]
Additionally, on November 18 (16th round) theColón players refused to participate in the match againstAtlético de Rafaela, due to a failure to pay the squad's wages.[28][29] Finally, on December 10, AFA gave the victory to Atlético de Rafaela (0−1), but they did not deduct any points from Colón.[30]

The relegation (or average) table is the table that averages the points over the last 3 seasons (each season consisting of two tournaments, "Inicial" and "Final"). Teams that have recently been promoted will only have one or two seasons counted under this table (and therefore fewer games played), thus each point they score increases their average more than the teams that have 3 seasons played.
