In a major shift for Argentine football broadcasts, the AFA (Argentine Football Association) has decided not to renew its contract with TyC Sports, which has been a traditional broadcaster for the Ascenso matches. Instead, all future transmissions will be conducted through LPF Play, an application that was launched in March 2023. This transition affects many Argentine fans who have enjoyed watching these games through their televisions for many years. With this change, the focus shifts to how fans will access the games going forward.

Initially, the AFA announced that during the first two rounds of the Primera Nacional and Primera B tournaments, access to the LPF Play platform will be free and without the need for user registration. However, starting from the third matchday, fans will need to register to access the content, although this will still be offered at no cost for a limited time. Eventually, the AFA plans to roll out a subscription model, which will require fans to pay a monthly fee to continue watching live broadcasts of both leagues.

Details regarding the cost of this subscription have yet to be disclosed to the public. Nevertheless, sources within Clarín suggest that a pricing structure could be in place shortly, prompting fans to begin preparing for the changes in how they consume their beloved football matches. This significant overhaul not only pertains to accessibility but also indicates a shift in the monetization strategy of the AFA, symbolizing a new era for Argentine football broadcasting.
