The2025 Liga Profesional de Fútbol is the 135th season of top-flight professionalfootball in Argentina. The league season began on 23 January and will end on 13 December 2025.[1]
Thirty teams compete in the league: twenty-eight returning from the2024 season as well as two promoted teams from the2024 Primera Nacional (Aldosivi andSan Martín (SJ)).[2][3]Vélez Sarsfield were the defending champions, having won the2024 Argentine Primera División tournament.
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 theEstadio Víctor Legrotaglie.[4] 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.[5] The match was resumed atEstadio 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.[6]
On 21 April 2025, theAFA postponed three matches scheduled for that day in mourning for the death ofPope Francis. The postponed matches were played the following day. A moment of silence was also observed before the start of all matches scheduled to be played from 22 April to 27 April.[7] Similarly, during the Torneo Clausura, the AFA postponed the Barracas Central v Boca Juniors match, which was scheduled for 11 October 2025, in mourning for Boca Juniors' managerMiguel Ángel Russo, who died on 8 October.[8] A moment of silence was also observed before all matches scheduled between 9 and 12 October.[9] The postponed match was played on 27 October.
Platense won their first national league championship on 1 June 2025, after defeating Huracán 1–0 in the Torneo Apertura Final.[10] Additionally, the AFA awardedRosario Central a new league title ("Campeón de Liga") for having been the team with the most points in the aggregate table.[11][12]
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 singleround-robin format. In addition, each team will play two inter-zone matches: the first against itsrival 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.[13]
The winners of the Torneo Apertura and Torneo Clausura will qualify for the2026 Copa Libertadores asArgentina 1 andArgentina 2, respectively. Qualification for international tournaments will be determined by the overall standings of the 2025 Primera División.[14]
This season, two teams were relegated to thePrimera Nacional. One team was relegated on the basis of coefficients, while the team that finished at the bottom of the 2025 aggregate table was also relegated.[15]

The 2025 Torneo Apertura champions, 2025 Torneo Clausura champions and2025 Copa Argentina champions will earn a berth to the2026 Copa Libertadores. The remaining berths to the 2026 Copa Libertadores as well as the ones to the2026 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.[14]
In this season, the bottom team of the aggregate table was relegated to the2026 Primera Nacional. If two or more teams were level on points, extra matches would be played to decide which team would be relegated.
On 20 November 2025, the AFA awardedRosario Central the official title of "Campeón de Liga" for having earned the most points in the aggregate table.[11][12]

In addition to the relegation based on the aggregate table, one team was relegated at the end of the season based on coefficients, which took 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 were counted). The total tally was then divided by the number of games played in the top flight over those three seasons, and an average was calculated. The team with the worst average at the end of the season was relegated toPrimera Nacional.
