Four Teams Compete for Promotion to Argentina's Primera División

In the climax of the 2026 Liga Federal season, the four semifinalists – Bartolomé Mitre, El Ceibo, River Plate and Regatas de San Nicolás – will battle for the two promotion spots to the Argentine Primera División. After a five‑month campaign that began with 93 clubs, only these four remain. The semifinals are scheduled as best‑of‑three series:

• Saturday 1 Aug 21:00 – El Ceibo (San Francisco) vs. Bartolomé Mitre (Posadas) • Monday 3 Aug 20:30 – River Plate vs. Regatas de San Nicolás • Wednesday 5 Aug 21:00 – Second leg of Mitre vs. El Ceibo • Thursday 6 Aug 21:00 – Possible third leg of Mitre vs. El Ceibo (if needed) • Friday 7 Aug 21:00 – Second leg of Regatas vs. River Plate • Saturday 8 Aug 21:00 – Possible third leg of Regatas vs. River Plate (if needed)

Regatas and Mitre earned home‑field advantage by finishing higher in the regular season. The winners will secure the coveted ascenso to the top tier of Argentine football.
