The champions will qualify for the 2020 Supercopa Argentina. Originally, the champions would also qualify for the 2021 Copa Libertadores, however on 11 December 2020 the Copa Argentina organizers announced that the 2019–20 edition would not end before the beginning of the 2021 Copa Libertadores. Therefore, AFA decided that the Copa Argentina berth for the 2021 Copa Libertadores would be reallocated to the best team of the 2019–20 Superliga Argentina and 2020 Copa de la Superliga aggregate table not yet qualified and that the champions would qualify for the 2022 Copa Libertadores instead, as proposed to AFA by the Copa Argentina organizers.[4]
