Football league
The Serie A has 34 teams (6 Liga de Expansión MX Reserve Teams and 28 Serie A Teams) divided into two groups. For the 2023–24 season, it will be a return of a season-long tournament consisting of 34 total matches played home & away and the liguilla. The top 7 teams from each group at the end of the season 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 2023–24 Season, Cancun, 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 Cancun, Celaya and Mineros de Zacatecas will have an associated team that will have its own identity.
