2020–21 Liga MX season


The 2020–21 Liga MX season is the 74th professional season of the top-flight football league in Mexico. The season is divided into two championships—the [|Torneo Guardianes] and the Torneo Clausura—each in an identical format and each contested by the same eighteen teams. The Apertura 2020 season was renamed Torneo Guardianes 2020 to honor healthcare workers in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. The Guardianes tournament will begin on 23 July 2020.
This season will see the debut of Mazatlán F.C., replacing Monarcas Morelia, who were relocated to Mazatlán, Sinaloa to become the new Mazatlán franchise, despite backlash from supporters, former players, and the sports media across Mexico. This season will also see an expanded playoff system. Twelve teams will now qualify to the Liguilla instead of eight.
