=Relegation/promotion playoffs=

The 17th and 18th placed teams in the relegation table (San Martín (San Juan) and San Lorenzo, respectively) played the 3rd and 4th-place finishers of the 2011–12 Primera B Nacional season (Instituto and Rosario Central, respectively); the winner of each claiming a spot in the following Primera División season. The Primera División team (Team 1) played the second leg at home with sporty advantage if the aggregate would have been drawn.

International qualification

The 2011–12 Primera League table contributes towards qualifying for CONMEBOL tournaments in 2012 and 2013.

=2012 CONMEBOL Tournaments=

International qualification for the 2012 season presented a change from previous ones. Qualification for the first four Copa Libertadores berths comprises the previous season's Clausura champion, this season's Apertura champion, and the top two non-champions in an aggregate table of the aforementioned tournaments). The fifth Copa Libertadores berth was given to the best team in the Copa Sudamericana who has not already qualified otherwise.

Qualification to the Copa Sudamericana was determined through the same aggregate table as the Copa Libertadores. However, the six berths went to the top five teams that have not qualified for the Copa Libertadores and who were not participating in the relegation/promotion playoffs, and the Copa Argentina champion.{{cite web |url=http://www.afa.org.ar/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13819:clasificacion-para-las-proximas-copa-libertadores-y-copa-sudamericana&catid=110:torneos-superiores&Itemid=78 |title=Copa Libertadores y Copa Sudamericana: clasificación |trans-title=Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana: qualification |publisher=Argentine Football Association |work=www.afa.org.ar |access-date=May 12, 2012 |language=es }}
