Here's how the 2026 Annual Table looks after the 15th matchday, showing the rankings for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana

The annual table for the Argentine Primera División determines one relegation spot and nine qualification slots for the 2027 Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana. Belgrano has secured a place in the Copa Libertadores by winning the 2026 Apertura tournament, while the winners of the ongoing Clausura and Copa Argentina will also qualify. Based on current standings after matchday 14 of the Clausura, Boca Juniors, Rosario Central, and Argentinos Juniors are positioned to claim the remaining direct spots to the Copa Libertadores through their combined points. Vélez Sarsfield, Instituto, Gimnasia, Independiente Rivadavia, and River Plate currently occupy the positions leading to Copa Sudamericana qualification. Specific rules allow teams qualifying via domestic titles to release their annual table slot if they finish within the top nine overall, a provision noted for potential scenarios involving Estudiantes and Boca Juniors.

Aldosivi could not avoid relegation and became the second team in the year to lose the category.

Aldosivi has been relegated to Argentina's second division after failing to secure enough points to avoid dropping out of the top tier this season. The Mar del Plata-based club finished with 19 points in the annual standings, placing them in the penultimate position and mathematically eliminating their chances of survival before the final matchday. This relegation makes Aldosivi the second team to lose its status in the current year, following Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto. The article notes that the team struggled throughout the 30 matches played across the Apertura and Clausura tournaments to find consistent form. Historically, the club has experienced frequent fluctuations between divisions since first reaching the top flight in 2014, having previously dropped down in 2016 and 2022 before returning via promotion in 2024.

Rosario Central defeated Sarmiento and is now the sole leader of the annual standings. Here's how the qualification for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana currently looks.

Rosario Central secured a late 2-1 victory over Sarmiento in Junin, positioning them as the sole leader of the Argentine football annual table with 59 points ahead of the penultimate matchday of the Clausura tournament. This win places Rosario Central above Boca Juniors and Argentinos Juniors, who both hold 57 points but trail in goal difference. Belgrano has already qualified for next year's Copa Libertadores as the Apertura champion, while three more teams will qualify via the annual standings alongside the Copa Argentina and Clausura winners. Additional qualification spots could open up if Boca Juniors or Estudiantes de La Plata win their respective Copa Sudamericana finals against Brazilian opponents. In other results, Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto was relegated after losing to River Plate, joining Aldosivi in dropping down to the second division.
