    2: Had to play a tiebreaker to see which team was relegated and which team played Promotion/Relegation Legs.

    Note: Clubs with indirect affiliation with AFA are relegated to the Torneo Argentino A, while clubs directly affiliated face relegation to Primera B Metropolitana. Clubs with direct affiliation are all from Greater Buenos Aires, with the exception of Newell's, Rosario Central, Central Córdoba and Argentino de Rosario, all from Rosario, and Unión and Colón from Santa Fe.

    Tiebreaker 1

    Since San Martín (SJ) and Racing (C) finished with the same relegation co-efficient at the dividing line, a one-match playoff was held to determine who had to play in the relegation/promotion playoffs. San Martín (SJ) won the playoff so Racing (C) had to play the Relegation Playoff Matches.

    Tiebreaker 2

    Since Chacarita Juniors and Defensores de Belgrano finished with the same relegation co-efficient at the dividing line, a one-match playoff was held to determine who had to play in the relegation/promotion playoffs and who had to be directly relegated to the Primera B Metropolitana. Chacarita won the match on penalties and continued to the Relegation Playoff Matches; Defensores de Belgrano was relegated to the Primera B Metropolitana.

    Relegation Playoff Matches

  • Chacarita Juniors remains in Primera B Nacional after a 2-2 aggregate tie by virtue of a "sports advantage". In case of a tie in goals, the team from the Primera B Nacional gets to stay in it.
  • Aldosivi was promoted to 2005–06 Primera B Nacional by winning the playoff and Racing (C) was relegated to 2005–06 Torneo Argentino A.
