First of all, the tournament will be an all-against-all classic: a single round in which the 26 teams that are part of the competition will face each other over 25 dates. As last year, there will be no relegations, but the points that each team collects will be considered to calculate the averages that will define, by the end of 2022, which teams will be relegated to the Primera Nacional (the amount has not yet been defined). By that time, there will be a total of 28 teams in the top flight of Argentine football. For the average, to the points of this championship will be added those of the 2019/20 and 2022 seasons. Therefore, diego maradona cup points will not be taken into account. Classic
During the second half of this year there will also be classics. The only change will be the venue of each match, as the venue will be reversed. Therefore, River-Boca will be played in the Monumental; Independiente-Racing in the Libertadores de América; and so on with each match. A tight schedule
The championship will conclude on December 12. There will be 22 weekends, and there will be five parties in between, as this year there are also the PASO and general elections. The tournament also does not contemplate stopping during FIFA dates. Cup qualification

The other five will go to the tournament champion; the winner of the Copa Argentina and the top three teams in the annual general table (which will include the points of this tournament and the Maradona Cup). The third team on the latter list will go to the playoffs.And the VAR?
The technology in Argentine football could arrive before the end of the year. However, some logistical problems (such as the lack of fiber optics in several stadiums in Argentina) would delay its implementation until the middle of the championship.
