This leg was played between the Apertura and the Clausura winner, but as Atlético de Rafaela won both tournaments, was declared champion and was automatically promoted to 2003-04 Primera División, so the match was played between the best teams placed in the overall standings under Atlético de Rafaela; Argentinos Juniors and Quilmes. The winning team was promoted to 2003-04 Primera División and the losing team played the Promotion Playoff Primera División-Primera B Nacional.
The Promotion playoff loser (Argentinos Juniors) and the team placed 4º in the overall standings (San Martín (M)) played against the 18º and the 17º placed of the Relegation Table of 2002-03 Primera División.
