The 2023âÂÂ24 Liga MX season (known as the Liga BBVA MX for sponsorship reasons) was the 77th professional season of the top-flight football league in Mexico. The season was divided into two championshipsâÂÂthe Apertura 2023 and the Clausura 2024âÂÂeach in an identical format and each contested by the same eighteen teams.
A total of eighteen teams are participating in the 2023âÂÂ24 edition of the Liga MX. All eighteen teams have participated in Liga MX since the 2020âÂÂ21 season.
The owner's assembly decided to adjust liguilla qualification, which was modified as of the Guardianes 2020 season. The number of teams directly qualifying to the quarter-finals was increased from four to six, while reducing the number of teams entering the reclassification round from eight to four, aligning it with the NBA's "play-in" round. The 9th place team hosts the 10th place team in an elimination game. The 7th hosts the 8th place team in the double-chance game, with the winner advancing as the 7-seed. The loser of this game then hosts the winner of the elimination game between the 9th and 10th place teams to determine the 8-seed.
The Apertura 2023 is the first tournament of the season and began on 30 June 2023. The defending champions are UANL. The season was paused in mid-July due to the 2023 Leagues Cup and was resumed on 18 August. On 8 July 2023, the match between Querétaro and América was postponed due to poor pitch condition.
Teams will play every other team once (either at home or away), completing a total of 17 rounds.

As of the 2020âÂÂ21 season, the promotion and relegation between Liga MX and Liga de Expansión MX (formerly known as Ascenso MX) was suspended, however, the coefficient table will be used to establish the payment of fines that will be used for the development of the clubs of the silver circuit.
Per Article 24 of the competition regulations, the payment of $MXN160 million will be distributed among the last three positioned in the coefficient table as follows: 80 million in the last place; 47 million the penultimate; and 33 million will be paid by the sixteenth team in the table, as of the 2021âÂÂ22 season the remaining $MXN80 million will be paid through the financial remnants generated by the Liga MX itself. The team that finishes last on the table will start the following season with a coefficient of zero. If the last ranked team, which was Querétaro, repeats as the last ranked team in the 2023âÂÂ24 season coefficient table, they will be fined an additional $MXN20 million.
<br /> Rules for fine payment: 1) Fine coefficient; 2) Goal difference; 3) Number of goals scored; 4) Head-to-head results between tied teams; 5) Number of goals scored away; 6) Fair Play points <br /> F = Team will have to pay fine indicated <br />Source: Liga MX
The 2023âÂÂ24 aggregate table (the sum of points of both the Apertura 2023 and Clausura 2024 seasons) is used to determine the participants for the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup. Normally, the league champion with more points at the end of the Apertura 2023 and Clausura 2024 seasons qualified directly for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 while the champion with fewer points, both runners-up of Apertura and Clausura, and the next two best-ranked teams qualified for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup first round. Since América won both tournaments, they qualified directly to the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16. As a result, both the Apertura and Clausura runners-up and the next three best-ranked teams also qualify for the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup first round. The first-place club also received US$1 million in prize money and recognition in 2024 Balón de Oro.
