Format

The tournament is contested by 11 clubs, 8 from the last Primera División season plus the 3 best placed teams of Torneo de Ascenso in the previous season. Teams are split into two zones, where they play each other in a single round-robin format. The four best placed teams of each zone qualify for the "Súper 8" tournament, while the rest of the teams play a promotion and relegation playoff.[2]

Champion and runner-up of Torneo de Córdoba qualify for the Nacional de Clubes, the main club competition of Argentina while the other best placed teams qualify for Torneo del Interior, the national club competition outside Buenos Aires.
