The Liga Profesional de Fútbol Argentino is the current name for the first division football championship in Argentina, a tournament with a rich history dating back to 1891, making it the oldest football league outside the United Kingdom. Organized by the Argentine Football Association (AFA), this competition is the epicenter of a football culture that transcends sports, becoming a true national passion. The 2025 season features 30 teams, competing in a format of two annual tournaments: a League Cup during the first semester and a league tournament in the second, or two League Cups.
This format aims to maintain excitement and competitiveness throughout the year. Teams not only fight for the Argentine champion title but also for qualification to prestigious continental competitions like the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana, adding an extra incentive to each match. The league is globally renowned for the quality of its players, many of whom become international stars, and for the unparalleled atmosphere generated by its fans in iconic stadiums like La Bombonera, El Monumental, and El Cilindro de Avellaneda.
The derbies, such as Boca-River (Superclásico), Independiente-Racing (Clásico de Avellaneda), and many others, are events that paralyze the country and attract worldwide attention. Securing tickets for these matches is an opportunity to live a unique sporting and cultural experience, full of emotion and tradition.
The AFA and First Division clubs agreed on the format for the 2025 season. Two League Cups will be played, each with the 30 teams divided into two zones of 15. The top eight from each zone will qualify for the round of 16. The round of 16, quarterfinal, and semifinal clashes will be single-leg matches, with home advantage for the best-placed team in the zone phase up to the semifinals. The finals will be on neutral ground.
