The 2025 Argentine Primera Nacional, officially known as the Campeonato de Primera Nacional Sur Finanzas 2025 for sponsorship purposes, [1] is the 41st season of the Primera Nacional, the second-tier competition of Argentine football. Thirty-six teams compete in the league, thirty-three of which took part in the 2024 season, along with one team promoted from Torneo Federal A and two teams promoted from Primera B Metropolitana. The season began on 6 February and is expected to end in December 2025, and the fixture draw was held on 20 December 2024. [1]
For this season, the competition is played under the same format as the previous season, with the thirty-six participating teams being split into two zones of 18 teams, where they will play against the other teams in their group twice: once at home and once away. However, since this season has two teams less than the previous one as no teams were relegated from Primera División, no interzonal matches between rival teams will be played, although rival sides were still paired together for the season draw and drawn into different zones. Both zone winners will play a final match on neutral ground to decide the first promoted team to the top flight for the following season, while the teams placed from second to eighth place in each zone will play a knockout tournament (Torneo Reducido) for the second promotion berth along with the loser of the final between the zone winners. Moreover, the playoff match between the sides placing second-from-bottom in each group will not be played this season, and instead four teams will be relegated to the third-tier leagues, those being the bottom two teams from each zone. [2]
Similar to previous seasons, 15 Primera Nacional teams will qualify for the 2026 Copa Argentina through league performance, those being the top seven teams of each zone plus the best eighth-placed one. [3]
