The 93rd season of the professional Argentine Primera División runs from 3 June to 23 October 2023. The championship takes place in 18 cities across the country, in 30 stadiums.

History of the Primera División

Professional football championships began to be held in Argentina in 1931. From 1967 to 1985, two equally important championships were held every year: Nacional and Metropolitano.

From 1991 to 2012, separate championships were held per season. They were called the Apertura and the Clausura. The Apertura was held in the second half of the calendar year while the Clausura took place at the beginning of the following year.

In 2012, there were new changes to the championship. Apertura was renamed Inicial whereas Clausura was renamed Final. However, the format of the draw did not change. The winners of the championship competed for the title of overall season champion.

Since 2015, the championship has been held in a single calendar year.

There are six places for Argentina to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. These include the first five teams to qualify. Clubs ranked 6 to 11 at the end of the season play in the play-offs to see who will be another representative of Argentina.

Liga Profesional de Fútbol was established in mid-2020.
