The 2022 Argentine Primera Nacional, also known as the Campeonato de Primera Nacional Torneo Malvinas Argentinas 2022,[1] is the 38th season of the Primera Nacional, the second tier of Argentine football. The season began on 11 February and will end in November 2022. Thirty-seven teams compete in the league, thirty-three returning from the 2021 season, two teams promoted from Torneo Federal A and two from Primera B Metropolitana.
Format[]
Thirty-seven teams play each other once for a total of thirty-six rounds. The top-placed team will be the champion and will also earn promotion to the Primera División. The teams placed from 2nd to 13th place will compete in the "Torneo Reducido" for the second promotion berth after the regular season ends, with the team placed 2nd entering in the third round, the team placed 3rd entering in the second round and the teams placed 4th to 13th entering in the first round. The bottom two teams will be relegated at the end of the season, as relegation will return after being suspended for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
The draw to decide the fixture of the season was held on 13 January 2022 at the Argentine Football Association's Ezeiza offices.[1]
