Starting this season, two substitutions were allowed per team during the game. That rule had been first introduced in 1959, but for injured goalkeepers only.
Unlike previous seasons, there was no team promoted from Primera B Metropolitana. Boca Juniors and Rosario Central (as champion and runner up of Nacional respectively) qualified to 1971 Copa Libertadores. On the other hand, Lanús, Quilmes and Unión (SF) were relegated.
