The decision to dump rights-holding company TSC came as Argentine officials look for ways to rescue debt-ridden clubs whose financial woes have delayed the start of the season.
Officials say the league will now begin on August 21, a week after it was originally scheduled, but did not identify who might buy the broadcast rights.
"The AFA is ready to open any negotiation," AFA spokesman Ernesto Cherquis Bialo told reporters.
"A Sunday without soccer isn't a Sunday," said Jose Roldan, a tour guide at Boca Juniors, Argentina's best-known club.
"Clubs are being mis-managed," he said, standing beside a statue of Diego Maradona, who as a player led Argentina to their second World Cup in 1986 and now coaches the national team.
BOCA 'BROKE'
Boca Juniors, along with other first division clubs such as River Plate, Independiente and Racing, are mired in debt because of broadcast rights, government controls and payments they make to official fan clubs known as "barras bravas."
"We're no longer going to be the cow the AFA milks every time they need money," TyC President Marcelo Bombau told Reuters before the AFA's decision was announced.
"They're asking us for a 200 percent increase in a week - it's impossible."
TSC, the company that holds the televised rights, is a partnership between TyC and Argentina's largest media conglomerate Grupo Clarin.
