The competition was contested by 28 teams, 26 returning from the 2023 season as well as 2 promoted teams from the 2023 Primera Nacional (Independiente Rivadavia and Deportivo Riestra). Rosario Central were the defending champions but they were eliminated in the Group stage.

The final stages (quarter-finals, semi-finals and final) were played on a single-legged basis.
