Two clubs from the NK region will compete in Primera B in 2024 after ending the season at the bottom of the table. The final weeks of January marked the start of the 2023 National Championship, pitting the sixteen First Division clubs against a path to stay in the top flight. Magallanes entered as champions of the promotion, while Deportes Copiapó earned a spot to participate in honorary football for the first time in their history after defeating Cobreloa in the final of the promotion tournament.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS AND THE SCORERS LIST ARE SHARED HERE AS CONTEXT FOR THE SEASON.
Which teams are relegated
The competition unfolds in two rounds of fifteen dates each, with the season wrapping up on December 10. The team finishing last on the table is relegated to First B, while the second worst team is also sent down. In cases where teams are tied at the bottom fighting to avoid demotion, the relegation is decided by the tournament’s standard tiebreakers which penalize the lower position in the head to head or goal difference depending on the specific rules in force for that campaign.
It is recalled that clubs who had byes in 2022 included Deportes Antofagasta, which ended with 26 points after thirty rounds, and Deportes La Serena, who finished fifteenth with 27 points. That scenario left Coquimbo Unido at risk of falling to the First B on goal difference. Universidad de Chile also faced a tense battle to secure permanent status for a fourth straight year. Which clubs would depart in 2023?
