Relegation Playoff Matches
Each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, but if the first match was won by the team of Primera B Nacional (who also played the first leg at home), there was no need to play the second. If instead, the team from the Regional leagues wins the first leg, the second leg must be played, leg that, if its won by the team of Primera B Nacional, a third leg must be played, if the third leg finishes in a tie, the team from Primera B Nacional remains on it. This season, Cipolletti had to play against Fernández Oro from the Liga Deportiva Confluencia (Río Negro Province), Central Córdoba (SdE) had to play against Güemes (SdE) from the Liga Santiagueña de Fútbol, and Atlético Tucumán had to play against Atlético Concepción from the Liga Tucumana de Fútbol.
