Playoff for relegation/promotion playoff 1

Since Huracán and Gimnasia (La Plata) 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 Nacional. The match was played on June 22, 2011 at Estadio Alberto J. Armando in Buenos Aires. Gimnasia won the match 2–0 and continued to the relegation/promotion playoff against San Martín de San Juan; Huracán was relegated to the Primera B Nacional.

Notes

  1. [n 1]
    Due to the death of Néstor Kirchner, President of Argentina from 2003–2007, on October 27, all matches for the following weekend were postponed. This pushed the match schedule for the remainder of the season back a week, changing the end of the tournament from December 12 to December 19. The schedule was later adjusted again to end on December 12 as planned. Due to Independiente's participation in the 2010 Copa Sudamericana, their match against Tigre was postponed to February 6, 2011.
