Current: 2021–22 Serie A season

The Serie A has 27 teams (3 Liga de Expansión MX Reserve Teams and 24 Serie A Teams) divided into two groups. For the 2021–22 season, it will be a return of two short tournaments consisting of 13 total matches played home & away and the liguilla. The top 4 teams from each group at the end of each Torneo will play in the Liguilla for a spot to play for promotion to Liga de Expansión MX provided that their stadiums meet the requirements to ascend.

The Serie A was created in the second half of 2008, with the participation and approval of the owners of the teams of the Second and Third Division, being next to Serie B part of the Liga Premier.

As of the 2021–22 Season, Cancún, Celaya, Correcaminos UAT, Mineros de Zacatecas, Cimarrones de Sonora and Leones Negros all from Liga de Expansión MX will join the Liga Premier to give young players professional experience. However, only Correcaminos UAT, Cimarrones de Sonora and Leones Negros UdeG will have a reserve team, while Cancún, Celaya and Mineros de Zacatecas will have an associated team that will have its own identity.

Offseason Changes[]

  • Since 2021–22 season, the season will once again be divided into two tournaments: Apertura and Clausura. [9]
  • On June 18, 2021 but was confirmed by the team a week later, Cruz Azul Hidalgo has been put on hiatus due to financial and economic issues within the club.[10]
  • After taking a hiatus due to COVID–19, Sporting Canamy, UAT and Yalmakán returns to participate in Serie A for 2021–22 season. [11]
  • On June 23, 2021, Aguacateros CDU returns to Serie B after an invite to participate in Serie A for the 2020-21 season when Serie B was suspended. [12]
  • On June 26, 2021, Fuertes de Fortín was promoted from Liga TDP, however, due to problems with its field, the team was sold to businessmen from Orizaba,[13] who relocated it to their city and was renamed Montañeses F.C.[14]
  • On June 26, 2021, Club RC–1128 was promoted from Liga TDP, however, due to problems with its field, the team was merged with Catedráticos Élite F.C. and took the identity of this club, so it was relocated in Ameca.[15]
  • On June 29, 2021, Atlético San Luis dissolved due to a financial restructuring of the club.[16]
  • On June 30, 2021, Mineros de Fresnillo has been put on hiatus due to sponsorship funding issues. However, later Mineros de Zacatecas became part of the owners of the club, so the continuity of the team for the 2021-22 season seems assured.[5]
  • On May 16, 2021, C.D. Irapuato sportively won the promotion to the Liga de Expansión MX. However, on June 3, 2021, the Mexican Football Federation announced the opening of a selection process to choose the club that would occupy the Liga Premier 3 place,[17] because Irapuato must still meet some requirements to compete in the Liga de Expansión MX,[18] three Liga Premier clubs (Durango, Irapuato and Matamoros), were chosen for an audit process that would determine the winner of the promotion. On July 5, 2021, it was confirmed that no team undergoing the certification audit approved the procedure, so there will be no club promoted from the Liga Premier.[19]

  • On July 30, 2021, Ciervos and Cuautla returned to Serie B.[12]
  • On July 30, 2021 Inter de Querétaro F.C. obtained its own official register in the league,[11] as during the second half of the previous season the team entered the category but officially played as Azores de Hidalgo F.C.[23]
  • Before the start of the season Cañoneros Marina was renamed Cañoneros F.C.[24]
  • On September 10, 2021, Irapuato was put on hiatus due to the lack of agreement between the owners of the club and the Irapuato city council, this after the expiration of the rights to use the Stadium by the team management.[25] [26]
