Primera Nacional: Dates, TV coverage, home clubs keep takings | OneFootball

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) confirmed that the broadcasting rights for all matches of the Primera Nacional 2026, both live and delayed, are exclusive to the entity. Any transfer to third parties will entail civil, commercial, criminal, administrative, and labor liability for third-party actions during the broadcasts.

The official competition schedule has been established as follows: the first round will be held between February 14 and June 13, with a total of 18 dates; the second round will take place from June 27 to October 24, also with 18 dates. Additionally, the matches corresponding to the Final for the first promotion and the final phase of the reduced tournament will be played between October 31 and December 12, completing 7 additional dates.

Regarding revenue, it was specified that the income from each match will remain entirely with the home club, except in the final matches for the first promotion. For indirectly affiliated clubs, 10% of the general admission price (VAT deducted) will be withheld, distributed with 7% for the local league and 3% for the Federal Council. In case of non-compliance in the settlement, the AFA may refer the case to the sports discipline tribunal to apply the corresponding sanctions.

With these provisions, the AFA seeks to ensure transparency in broadcasting and in the management of club revenues throughout the entire 2026 Primera Nacional season.
