Numerous loans from the previous campaign officially expired on and around 30 June.[13] River met Ventura County Fushion of USL League Two for a secondary match-up on 4 July, with Jorge Carrascal scoring four times in a 7–0 victory.[14][15] Luciano Lollo was loaned to Banfield on 6 July.[16][17] On matchday two of the Colossus Cup, River beat another Mexican team in América with goals from Julián Álvarez and Cristian Ferreira.[18]

July

Gimnasia y Esgrima (M) were defeated in the Copa Argentina R32 on 16 July, though it took a 4–5 penalty shoot-out win to do so.[19] Carlos Auzqui went off on loan to Lanús on 17 July.[20][21] On 23 July, River Plate met Brazilian club Cruzeiro in the first leg of a Copa Libertadores round of sixteen encounter, as the two played out a goalless draw at Estadio Monumental.[22] River travelled to Argentinos Juniors in game one of the 2019–20 Primera División, subsequently coming away with a point.[23] On 30 July, after they again drew 0–0 with Cruzeiro in the Copa Libertadores, River Plate advanced to the next round following a penalty shoot-out victory.[24]

August

On 1 August, Joaquín Arzura headed out on loan to Huracán.[25][26] Hours later, River announced their first signing of the new campaign as Paulo Díaz arrived from Al-Ahli of the Saudi Professional League.[27][28] River built upon their point on the opening day in the Primera División over Argentinos Juniors with a 3–0 win versus Lanús on 4 August on home soil.[29] Alan Marcel Picazzo joined Villa Dálmine on loan on 8 August.[30][31] River beat All Boys 7–0 and 5–1 in friendlies on 9 August, with Matías Suárez netting a hat-trick in the former while Ignacio Scocco scored a brace in the latter.[32] 10 August saw Santiago Vera leave River Plate, as the midfielder agreed terms on a move to Paraguayan Primera División outfit Olimpia.[33] Colo-Colo revealed the loan signing of Iván Rossi on 13 August.[34][35]

River, for the first time since 1962, put six goals past reigning champions Racing Club away from home in the league on 17 August.[36] River Plate defeated Cerro Porteño in the first leg of a Copa Libertadores quarter-final on 22 August, winning 2–0 after Ignacio Fernández and Rafael Santos Borré netted spot-kicks.[37] River's first league loss came three days later, as Talleres won at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti for the first time in twenty-nine years.[38] On 29 August, River progressed to the Copa Libertadores semi-finals after beating Paraguayan side Cerro Porteño 3–1 on aggregate, having drawn 1–1 in the second leg in Asunción.[39]

September

River opened September with a Superclásico at home to Boca Juniors, which ended drawn after no goals were scored.[40] On 22 September, they got their second loss of the season, losing 2–1 at home to Vélez Sarsfield. They ended the month with a 2–0 victory against Gimnasia.
