Argentine Division 1
Argentine Division 1, officially known as the Liga Profesional de Fútbol, is Argentina's top-flight football competition, featuring 30 clubs competing across two tournaments during the calendar year. Unlike most European leagues, the Argentine top flight is divided into the Torneo Apertura and Torneo Clausura, with each tournament featuring a group stage followed by knockout playoffs. The 2026 season also determines an annual league champion based on the most points accumulated across both tournaments.
What's new in Argentine Division 1 2026?
The 2026 season continues with 30 clubs divided into two groups of 15 for both the Apertura and Clausura tournaments. Each team plays 14 matches against the other clubs in its group, plus one interzonal fixture, giving every club 15 regular-season matches in each tournament.
The postseason remains an important part of the competition. The Apertura and Clausura both feature knockout playoffs after the regular phase, with the tournament structure culminating in a final to determine each champion. In addition to the two tournament winners, Argentina also awards the Liga title to the club that accumulates the most points across the annual table.
The 2026 campaign also includes several major domestic prizes. The winners of the Apertura and Clausura meet in the Trofeo de Campeones, while the annual Liga champion faces the Trofeo de Campeones winner in the Supercopa Internacional. This gives clubs several opportunities to compete for silverware throughout the season.
