2018-19 Liga Premier season

The Liga Premier is the third level of the Mexican football league system. Until the 1993-1994 season, the champion of the Segunda División had been promoted to the Primera División, but with the creation of the Primera 'A', now called Ascenso MX, the Segunda División became the third category in Mexico .

For the Apertura 2008 tournament, the Mexican Football Federation, with the approval of the chairmen of the clubs in the Second and Third Divisions, decided to change the format of the league dividing the number of teams into two divisions, the Liga Premier de Ascenso and the Liga de Nuevos Talentos .

The Serie A has 32 teams (7 Liga MX Reserve Teams, 3 Ascenso MX Reserve Teams and 22 Serie A Teams) divided into two groups. For the 2018–19 season, each team will play the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents, for a total of 30 matches being played per team. The top 4 teams from each group at end of the season will play for promotion to Ascenso MX and the stadium must meet the requirements to achieve promotion as well.

Meanwhile, the Serie B de México has 16 teams. For the 2018–19 season, each team will play the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents. The top 8 teams at end of the season will play for promotion to Serie A and the stadium must meet the requirements to achieve promotion as well.
