International qualification

The 2024 Argentine Primera División champions, 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional champions and 2024 Copa Argentina champions will earn a berth to the 2025 Copa Libertadores. The remaining berths to the 2025 Copa Libertadores as well as the ones to the 2025 Copa Sudamericana will be determined by an aggregate table of the 2024 Argentine Primera División and 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional first stage tournaments. 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.

Relegation

In this season, the bottom team of the aggregate table will be relegated to the 2025 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

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.
