Another grueling Primera División season in Argentina is about to kick off, and fans across the globe will get to witness the true intensity of Argentine football week in and week out.
Every team will be playing 27 matches across the season, with the one with the most points earning the right to win the title. The 2024 season will begin with River Plate as defending champions, following their impressive run that saw them win the league with an eleven-point gap over Talleres.
It will also be a historic edition of the Argentine league, as Independiente Rivadavia and Deportivo Riestra will be making their debut in the competition. These clubs will take the spots left by Colón and Arsenal, who were relegated to the Primera Nacional due to their accumulated results in three years and after a crushing tie between Colón and Gimnasia y Esgrima, who decided which team was relegated in a playoff tie.
Since the Argentine championship will kick off with a bang prior to a couple of pauses due to international games, matches will be held almost every day of the week, which is why we will leave you with the full schedule for the next four days.

Top games to watch
River Plate vs Central Córdoba - The defending champions will start their run in the tournament against Central Córdoba, one of the teams that struggled the most during the 2023 season and who will have to step things up if they want to avoid relegation via the season table or on the coefficients standings. Los Millonarios had a good run in the Copa de la Liga, but with Boca Juniors eliminating them from the tournament, this will give Martín Demichelis' men a chance to redeem themselves and try to add to their impressive record.

Atlético Tucumán vs Boca Juniors - Los Xeneizes had a woeful end of the league in 2023, which saw them miss out on a Copa Libertadores spot. Now, Diego Martínez and his team make their debut in the competition away from home against Atlético Tucumán, who were ranked eleventh in 2023 and who will begin the league under new management, following Facundo Sava's appointment after the Copa de la Liga, where they were led by Sergio Gómez.
[MATCH 4876930]
Gimnasia La Plata vs Vélez Sarsfield - The hosts for Monday's game were given another chance in the Primera División after their relegation playoff win against Colón. Now, they must prove that their chances of success will improve under Marcelo Méndez, who was appointed by the team last month following their performances in the League Cup. Standing in the way of their first three points will be Vélez, one of the historic teams in Argentina and who will also face the new season with a new coach: Gustavo Quinteros.
