A total of 22 teams take part of the competition, with six teams from 2023 Primera C, they are Excursionistas, Deportivo Laferrere, Ferrocarril Midland, Sportivo Italiano, Liniers y San Martín de Burzaco, plus two relegated clubs from 2023 Primera Nacional, Flandria and Villa Dálmine.

Primera B Metropolitana is currently organized so, during the course of a season, two round-robin tournaments are played.
The two winners play each other and the winner is recognized as the Primera B champion and is automatically promoted to Primera B Nacional.
The loser and the teams that hold the six best positions at the aggregate table have the chance to enter the Torneo Reducido (small tournament) whose winner will be promoted.
The team with the lowest aggregate points total in Primera B Metropolitana is relegated to Primera C Metropolitana.[3]
Besides, the champion and the five best placed teams will qualify to 2025 Copa Argentina.[4]
