The 2025 Liga Profesional de Fútbol was the 135th season of top-flight professional football in Argentina. The league season began on 23 January and ended on 13 December 2025.
Thirty teams competed in the league: twenty-eight returning from the 2024 season as well as two promoted teams from the 2024 Primera Nacional (Aldosivi and San Martín (SJ)). Vélez Sarsfield were the defending champions, having won the 2024 Argentine Primera División tournament.
During the Torneo Apertura, the referee Yael Falcón Pérez suspended the match Godoy Cruz vs. Talleres (C) (4 February 2025, 3rd round) before the start of the second half after the assistant referee Diego Martín was hit on the head by an object thrown from the stands of the Estadio Víctor Legrotaglie. The AFA Disciplinary Court decided on 20 February 2025 to resume the match and play the second half on a date to be determined behind closed doors. Godoy Cruz were deducted three points and had to play six more games behind closed doors. They also had to pay the travel expenses of Talleres (C) and a fine. The match was resumed at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas on 22 March 2025. On 8 April 2025, the Court of Appeals returned the three points to Godoy Cruz and ended the punishment of the closed-door games.
On 21 April 2025, the AFA postponed three matches scheduled for that day in mourning for the death of Pope Francis. The postponed matches were played the following day. A moment of silence was also observed before the start of all matches scheduled to be played from 22 April to 27 April. Similarly, during the Torneo Clausura, the AFA postponed the Barracas Central v Boca Juniors match, which was scheduled for 11 October 2025, in mourning for Boca Juniors' manager Miguel Ángel Russo, who died on 8 October. A moment of silence was also observed before all matches scheduled between 9 and 12 October. The postponed match was played on 27 October.
Platense won their first national league championship on 1 June 2025, after defeating Huracán 1–0 in the Torneo Apertura Final. Estudiantes (LP) won their seventh first national league championship on 13 December 2025, by defeating Racing 5–4 in a penalty shootout after a 1–1 draw in extra time in the Torneo Clausura Final.
Additionally, the AFA created a new league title ("Campeón de Liga") and awarded Rosario Central retroactively for having been the team with the most points in the aggregate table. As the 2025 Tournament Rules stated that changes could be made (prior approval by the Executive Committe) with the season in progress president Claudio Tapia presented an initiative to award a league title to Rosario Central, which was approved and carried out by the committee in November. The title was awarded with retroactivity since this 2025 season and it was established by AFA that will be disputed in the future seasons too. The decision caused widespread controversy because the title was not included in the season's regulations, and Rosario Central did not win neither the Apertura nor the Clausura. Furthermore, the title was awarded while the Clausura tournament was still ongoing.
