The 2023 Argentine Primera División - Liga Profesional (officially the Torneo Binance 2023, until the 26th round, for sponsorship reasons)^[1][2] was the 133rd season of top-flight professional football in Argentina. The league season began on 27 January and ended on 30 July 2023.^[3]

Twenty-eight teams competed in the league: twenty-six returning from the 2022 season as well as two promoted teams from the 2022 Primera Nacional (Belgrano and Instituto).^[4][5] Boca Juniors were the defending champions.

River Plate won their 38th national league championship with two matches to spare after they defeated Estudiantes (LP) 3–1 on 15 July 2023.^[6]

Competition format

The competition was run under a single round-robin, contested by 28 teams (26 from the previous edition plus 2 promoted from Primera Nacional). The champions qualified for the 2024 Copa Libertadores as Argentina 1. The qualification for international tournaments will be determined by an aggregate table of the 2023 Primera División and 2023 Copa de la Liga Profesional first stage tournaments.^[7]

In this season two teams were relegated to the Primera Nacional. One team was relegated based on coefficients, while the bottom team of the 2023 aggregate table would also be relegated.^[8]

Aggregate table

International qualification

The 2023 Argentine Primera División champions, 2023 Copa de la Liga Profesional champions and 2023 Copa Argentina champions earned a berth to the 2024 Copa Libertadores. The remaining berths to the 2024 Copa Libertadores as well as the ones to the 2024 Copa Sudamericana were determined by an aggregate table of the 2023 Argentine Primera División and 2023 Copa de la Liga Profesional first stage tournaments. The top three teams in the aggregate table not already qualified for any international tournament qualified for the Copa Libertadores, while the next six teams qualified for the Copa Sudamericana.^[7]

Relegation

In this season, the bottom team of the aggregate table would be relegated to the 2024 Primera Nacional. If two or more teams were level on points, extra matches would be played to decide which team would be relegated.

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) goals scored; 4) fair play ranking 5) drawing of lots.
(O) Play-off winners; (R) Relegated
Notes:

1. River Plate, Rosario Central and Estudiantes (LP) qualified for the Copa Libertadores group stage by winning the 2023 Argentine Primera División, the 2023 Copa de la Liga Profesional and the 2023 Copa Argentina, respectively.
2. Arsenal were relegated based on coefficients.

Relegation playoff

As Colón and Gimnasia y Esgrima (LP) finished with the same number of points in the aggregate table, the tournament rules required them to play a playoff match at a neutral venue to determine the relegated team. If tied, extra time would be played and if the score was still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winners.

Gimnasia y Esgrima (LP) won the match 1–0 and remained in the Primera División, while Colón were relegated to the Primera Nacional.^[91]

Relegation based on coefficients

In addition to the relegation based on the aggregate table, one team was relegated at the end of the season based on coefficients, which took 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 were counted). The total tally was then divided by the number of games played in the top flight over those three seasons and an average was calculated. The team with the worst average at the end of the season was relegated to Primera Nacional. Originally two teams would be relegated based on coefficients but, on 22 June 2023, AFA decided to reduce the number of relegated teams to one.^[8]
