**In the 2026 Liga Profesional Argentina, two teams will be relegated to the Primera Nacional—one via the worst three-year coefficient average (promedios, incorporating 2024–2026 points per game) and one via the lowest total in the 2026 aggregate table (Apertura plus Clausura).** As of mid-September after Clausura date 9, Estudiantes de Río Cuarto sits last in both rankings with the weakest recent form and goal difference, making it the clearest candidate for the average-based drop. Aldosivi trails closely in the annual standings and remains exposed on coefficients, while Deportivo Riestra, Banfield, Sarmiento, and Central Córdoba (SdE) occupy the next tier of risk. With roughly seven dates remaining, results in the final stretch of the split-zone Clausura will determine whether the same club occupies both bottom spots or whether the annual-table penalty shifts to the 29th-placed side. Official injury reports, managerial changes, and fixture congestion for lower-table sides continue to influence late momentum in this tightly contested relegation battle.
