As Boca Juniors and Huracán both finished with 51 points each, they had to play a best-of-three playoff to decide a champion. Palermo, which had been relegated from the Asociación Amateur, joined Asociación Argentina remaining at Primera División. Argentino de Quilmes returned to the top division after being relegated in 1918, while All Boys, Argentino de Banfield, and Sportivo Villa Urquiza made their debuts in Primera.[2]

Notes
- From 1921 to 1925 there were two teams called "Platense" due to an internal conflict in the lists of candidates for president of the institution. Current Club Atlético Platense played at the dissident Asociación Amateur and the other squad (known as "Platense II") played in the Asociación Argentina.[3]
