Format

Thirty-seven teams play each other once for a total of thirty-six rounds. The top-placed team will be the champion and will also earn promotion to the Primera División. The teams placed from 2nd to 13th place will compete in the "Torneo Reducido" for the second promotion berth after the regular season ends, with the team placed 2nd entering in the third round, the team placed 3rd entering in the second round and the teams placed 4th to 13th entering in the first round. The bottom two teams will be relegated at the end of the season, as relegation will return after being suspended for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

The draw to decide the fixture of the season was held on 13 January 2022 at the Argentine Football Association's Ezeiza offices.[1]
