Relegation/promotion playoff

By finishing 15th in the relegation table, Palestino was pitted against the San Marcos de Arica, the 2nd best team in the 2009 Primera B General Table. Curicó Unido, by finishing 16th in the relegation table, played against San Luis, the loser of the 2009 Primera B championship playoff. The team who obtains the most point after two legs will stay or be promoted to the Primera División. Should there be a tie on points, it will be settled as follows: 1) overall goal difference; 2) most away goal; 3) extra time of two 15-minute halves; 4) penalty shootout according to the Laws of the Game. The Primera División (Team #1) played the second leg at home.

Team #1   Points earned   Team #2   1st leg     2nd leg  
Palestino 3–3
(4–2 p)		 San Marcos de Arica 2–0 0–2
Curicó Unido 3–3 (2–4 gd) San Luis 2–1 0–3
