  • Rosario Central is third with 56 points from 30 matches
  • River Plate has 52 points and trails the leaders by five
  • The superclásico is scheduled for November 1, 2026, at La Bombonera

Boca Juniors leads Argentina's annual standings with 57 points from 30 matches, built on 15 wins, 12 draws and three losses. Argentinos Juniors has matched Boca at 57 points, while Rosario Central follows with 56 after completing 30 games.

River Plate moved back into contention with a 1-0 win over Racing Club, reaching 52 points and sitting sixth. The victory leaves River five points behind the leaders with two rounds remaining for most teams.

“A win will leave Leonardo Ponzio's team very close to its archrival and with momentum to enter the Libertadores; a stumble will leave it almost out of that continental tournament.”

— La Nación

The annual table determines qualification for the 2027 Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana, as well as the League Champion title. Belgrano has already secured a Libertadores spot by winning the Apertura 2026.

Boca beat Independiente 1-0 away thanks to an 88th-minute goal by Facundo Herrera. River defeated Racing 1-0 at the Monumental, with Lautaro Rivero scoring the decisive goal in the first half.

The superclásico will take place on November 1, 2026, at La Bombonera. A River win would bring Leonardo Ponzio's team close to Boca and keep its Libertadores hopes alive, while a setback could leave it almost out of the continental competition.
