The 2013–14 Primera B Metropolitana was the 115th. edition of Primera B Metropolitana, the third division of the Argentine football league system. The tournament was reserved for teams directly affiliated to the Argentine Football Association while teams affiliated to AFA through local leagues (known as "indirectly affiliated to AFA") competed in Torneo Argentino A, which was the other third division competition.

The regular season began on August 2, 2013, and is scheduled to end on May 31, 2014. Post-season matches were scheduled to start on June 4 and end on June 14. 21 teams will take part of the competition with seventeen of them remaining from the 2012–13 season. They'll be joined by two teams relegated from the 2012-13 Primera B Nacional and two teams promoted from the 2012–13 Primera C.[1]

Nueva Chicago won their 3rd. title in the division promoting to Primera B Nacional[2] while Temperley was the 2nd. team promoted after winning the Torneo Reducido defeating Platense 5–4 on penalties in the final.[3][4]

On the other hand, Flandria and Defensores de Belgrano[5] were relegated to Primera C.[1]

Competition format

The tournament was composed of 21 teams playing on a double round-robin format, each team then playing a total of 40 matches. Three points were awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The team with more points was declared champion and was promoted to Primera B Nacional. Teams positioned 2nd to 5th qualified for the Torneo Reducido, which was played on a, home and away, knock-out system, the pairings were 2nd. vs 5th. and 3rd. vs 4th. for the semifinals, with the winners advancing to the final, the winner of the final was then promoted to the Primera B Nacional. If the playoff ended in a draw, there was a penalty shoot-out to determine a winner.

Relegation was not dependent on the standings table, rather, a points average system was used, creating a separate parallel standings table considering the performances of the teams through the latest 3 seasons (2011–12, 2012–13, 2013–14). The total of points was divided by the total of matches played on the division to get the average of points per match for each team. The two teams with the worst points average were relegated to Primera C.

Clubs

17 teams remained from the previous season. Nueva Chicago and Deportivo Merlo had been relegated from the Primera B Nacional and replaced Villa San Carlos and Brown (Adrogué) (which had promoted the previous season). UAI Urquiza and Fénix joined too after winning promotion from the Primera C and replacing Central Córdoba de Rosario and San Telmo, both relegated.
