1: Had to play a tiebreaker to see which team played Promotion/relegation Legs.

2: Had to play a tiebreaker to see which team was relegated and which team played Promotion/relegation Legs.

Note: Clubs with indirect affiliation with AFA are relegated to the Torneo Argentino A, while clubs directly affiliated face relegation to Primera B Metropolitana. Clubs with direct affiliation are all from Greater Buenos Aires, with the exception of Newell's, Rosario Central, Central Córdoba and Argentino de Rosario, all from Rosario, and Unión and Colón from Santa Fe.

Tiebreaker 1

Since San Martín (SJ) and Racing (C) finished with the same relegation co-efficient at the dividing line, a one-match playoff was held to determine who had to play in the relegation/promotion playoffs. San Martín (SJ) won the playoff so Racing (C) had to play the Relegation Playoff Matches.

Team 1	Score	Team 2
Racing (C)	0–1	San Martín (SJ)

Tiebreaker 2

Defensores de Belgrano	0–0 (4–5 p)	Chacarita Juniors
