Estudiantes de La Plata defeated Platense 2-1 in the Trofeo de Campeones final. This match featured two teams that had previously won the Apertura and Clausura tournaments, respectively. The winner, in addition to a new title, secured a spot in several finals. According to the Argentine News Agency, Estudiantes had previously won the Clausura final against Racing on penalties after a draw in regular time. Due to the unprecedented number of tournaments scheduled for Argentine football in 2026 (eight in total), the winner of the Trofeo de Campeones will have the opportunity to compete in other cup competitions. One of them is the Supercopa Internacional, where 'Pincha' will face Rosario Central. The team that finished first in the annual table was inexplicably awarded the League Champion title by the Argentine Football Association (AFA) overnight. Additionally, the team will play in the Supercopa Argentina, where they will compete for the trophy against Independiente Rivadavia of Mendoza thanks to their historic triumph in the Copa Argentina. The list does not end there, as in 2026 the Recopa de Campeones will also be contested, featuring the winners of the Copa Argentina, the Supercopa Internacional, and the Supercopa Argentina.
