The final was originally scheduled to be played at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero on 30 May 2021.[3] However, due to the worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina, the President of Argentina suspended all the activities in Argentina between 22 and 30 May 2021, and the final had to be rescheduled.[4]

Colón won the match 3–0 obtaining the first top-flight professional title in their history.[5] As champions, Colón qualified for the 2022 Copa Libertadores (Regulations Article 25).[6]
