The 2024 Argentine Primera División - Liga Profesional (officially the Torneo Betano 2024 for sponsorship reasons)[2] is the 134th season of top-flight professional football in Argentina. The league season began on 10 May and will end on 15 December 2024.[3]
Twenty-eight teams compete in the league: twenty-six returning from the 2023 season as well as two promoted teams from the 2023 Primera Nacional (Independiente Rivadavia and Deportivo Riestra), both teams are participating in Argentine Primera División for the first time in history from this season.[4][5] River Plate are the defending champions.
On 25 May 2024, the match Godoy Cruz vs. San Lorenzo (3rd round) was suspended in the 48th minute after a fight broke out between the supporters of Godoy Cruz in the stands of the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas.[6] The AFA Disciplinary Court decided on 6 June 2024 to resume the match and play the remaining 42 minutes on a date to be determined behind closed doors. Godoy Cruz were deducted three points and had to play two games behind closed doors. They also had to pay San Lorenzo's travel expenses and a fine.[7] On 8 August 2024, the Court of Appeals returned the three points to Godoy Cruz and upheld the other sentences.[8] The match was resumed on 12 October 2024.[9]
The competition will be run under a single round-robin, contested by 28 teams (26 from the previous edition plus 2 promoted from Primera Nacional). The champions will qualify for the 2025 Copa Libertadores as Argentina 1. The qualification for international tournaments will be determined by an aggregate table of the 2024 Primera División and 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional first stage tournaments.[10]
In this season two teams would be relegated to the Primera Nacional. One team would be relegated based on coefficients, while the bottom team of the aggregate table would also be relegated, however, on 17 October 2024, AFA decided that no teams would be relegated.[1]

The 2024 Argentine Primera División champions, 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional champions and 2024 Copa Argentina champions will earn a berth to the 2025 Copa Libertadores. The remaining berths to the 2025 Copa Libertadores as well as the ones to the 2025 Copa Sudamericana will be determined by an aggregate table of the 2024 Argentine Primera División and 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional first stage tournaments. The top three teams in the aggregate table not already qualified for any international tournament will qualify for the Copa Libertadores, while the next six teams will qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.[10]
In this season, the bottom team of the aggregate table would be relegated to the 2025 Primera Nacional, but, on 17 October 2024, AFA decided that no teams would be relegated.[1]

In addition to the relegation based on the aggregate table, one team would be relegated at the end of the season based on coefficients, which take into consideration the points obtained by the clubs during the current season (aggregate table points) and the two previous seasons (only seasons in the top flight would be counted). The total tally would then be divided by the number of games played in the top flight over those three seasons and an average would be calculated. The team with the worst average at the end of the season would be relegated to Primera Nacional, but, on 17 October 2024, AFA decided that no teams would be relegated.[1]
