The annual Argentine league table now locks in the final three Libertadores slots and six Sudamericana places. After matchday 14, Boca sits on 57 points, Rosario Central on 56, and Argentinos Juniors on 54, positioning them as the likely continental qualifiers. Who will clinch the coveted Libertadores berths?
Belgrano has already secured a Libertadores berth by winning the 2026 Apertura. The Clausura champion and the Copa Argentina winner still need to be decided, and both will also earn spots in the competition.
Qualification spots for the continental cups
In the race for 2027 Sudamericana places, Independiente Rivadavia leads with 53 points, followed by Millonarios and Vélez at 52, Gimnasia La Plata on 51, Instituto on 50, and Lanús on 48. These totals combine Apertura and Clausura results.
Belgrano sits tenth with 48 points, but its Apertura title does not free a table slot; champions must finish the season in an internationally qualifying position. Its spot adds to those allocated through the annual standings.
Factors that could alter the annual standings
If a team captures a cup while also finishing in a table‑qualifying position, its annual slot passes to the next best‑placed club. Continental outcomes can also reshuffle the distribution.
Estudiantes de La Plata could open a slot by winning the 2026 Libertadores and ending the year among the top nine of the annual table. Boca, currently third, might do the same if it lifts the Sudamericana trophy against Atlético Mineiro.
The Clausura regular season still has room to move; matchday 14 is the third‑last round. The next set of games runs from Friday, Oct. 30 to Monday, Nov. 2, with the Superclásico slated for Sunday, Oct. 1 at 15:00.
