Estudiantes de La Plata won the Clausura Championship, leaving Independiente without international cups for 2026. The 'Red' needed their classic rival, Racing, to be victorious in this final, but after a 1-1 draw in regular time, the 'Academy' lost 5-4 on penalties in a match covered by the Argentine News Agency. Independiente, which after a disastrous start to the Clausura tournament managed to get back on track in the final rounds to finish eleventh in the annual table, could not end the year on a high note and will have only local tournaments next year. Teams qualified for the 2026 Cups: Libertadores Cup: Platense, Lanús, Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza, Rosario Central, Boca, Argentinos Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata. South American Cup: River, Racing, Deportivo Riestra, San Lorenzo, Tigre and Barracas Central.
