Teams edit

A total of eighteen teams are participating in the 2023–24 edition of the Liga MX. All eighteen teams have participated in Liga MX since the 2020–21 season.

Changes edit

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.[1] 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.

Coefficient table edit

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.[38]

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,[39] as of the 2021–22 season the remaining $MXN80 million will be paid through the financial remnants generated by the Liga MX itself.[40] 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.

The league champions with more points at the end of the Apertura 2023 and Clausura 2024 seasons qualifies directly to the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16. The league champions with fewer points at the end of the season qualifies for the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup first round.
