The 2024–25 Liga MX season (known as the Liga BBVA MX for sponsorship reasons) is the 78th professional season of the top-flight football league in Mexico. The season is to be divided into two championships—the Apertura 2024 and the Clausura 2025—each in an identical format and each contested by the same eighteen teams.

Teams

A total of eighteen teams are participating in the 2024–25 edition of the Liga MX. All eighteen teams have participated in Liga MX since the 2020–21 season.

Changes

América will change its venue due to the improvement works that will be carried out at the Estadio Azteca for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[1] The team has not defined what its stadium will be during this season.

Coefficient table

As of the 2020–21 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.[12]

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,[13] as of the 2021–22 season the remaining $MXN80 million will be paid through the financial remnants generated by the Liga MX itself.[14] 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 2023–24 season coefficient table, they will be fined an additional $MXN20 million.
