1972–73 Honduran Liga Nacional

The 1972–73 Honduran Liga Nacional season was expected to be the 8th edition of the Honduran Liga Nacional. However, on 12 August 1972, due to economic problems the tournament was cancelled after nine weeks completed.[1] It's unclear how Club Deportivo Olimpia and C.D.S. Vida obtained berths to the 1973 CONCACAF Champions' Cup.
