The Mexican Primera Division sends four teams to the CONCACAF Champions League each season.
Cruz Azul and Pumas UNAM, along with América and Guadalajara, are frequently referred to as “Los Cuatro Grandes” (The Four Greats).
These teams play the “Clásico de Clásicos” at least once every six months in what is one of the most anticipated matches of each season. América has based its success in the hiring of prominent footballers from around the world while Guadalajara has established its reputation by entering each tournament with players from Mexican descent. This competition also hosts two of the most popular teams in North America: América and Guadalajara. NOTE: In April 2020, Liga MX president Enrique Bonilla announced that promotion and relegation both to and from the Mexican top-flight had been suspended for three years from that date. This playoff stage is known as Liguilla and it takes place twice per season, at the end of both the Apertura and Clausura regular seasons.Īdded to that, one team is relegated to the Ascenso MX after the end of every Clausura tournament. When the first 17 games are played, the best eight teams in the tournament enter a playoff stage where the winner of the competition is determined after six more matches. The Mexican Clausura, the second tournament, starts in January and wraps up in May. The first half of the season (Apertura tournament) runs from July through to December. Each season, Mexican fans get to watch two tournaments while European clubs play only one. It sees 18 teams battle against each other to win one of two titles available. The Mexican Primera Division, also known as Liga MX, is Mexico's top division football league.
