The 2025 Torneo Apertura final was the last match of the 2025 Torneo Apertura of the 2025 Argentine Primera División. It was held at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero on 1 June 2025,[2] between Platense and Huracán.[3] Huracán were seeking their sixth league title, with their last championship won in 1973. On the other hand, Platense had never been crowned Primera División champions.

Nicolás Ramírez was initially scheduled to referee the final, but he suffered a muscle injury in his left leg a few days beforehand. Consequently, the AFA appointed Facundo Tello as the referee for the final.[1]

Platense won their first title in the highest division of Argentine football after they defeated Huracán 1–0.[4][5] As champions, they qualified for the 2026 Copa Libertadores.
