The 2024–25 Liga MX season (known as the Liga BBVA MX for sponsorship reasons) is the 78th professional season of the top-flight football league in Mexico. The season is to be divided into two championships—the Apertura 2024 and the Clausura 2025—each in an identical format and each contested by the same eighteen teams.
A total of eighteen teams are participating in the 2024–25 edition of the Liga MX. All eighteen teams have participated in Liga MX since the 2020–21 season.
América will change its venue due to the improvement works that will be carried out at the Estadio Azteca for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[1] On July 4, 2024 América announced the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes as their venue for the Apertura 2024 season.[2]

See main article: Apertura 2024 Liga MX final phase.
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.
The Clausura tournament will begin in January 2025.
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.[28]
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,[29] as of the 2021–22 season the remaining $MXN80 million will be paid through the financial remnants generated by the Liga MX itself.[30] 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 Tijuana, repeats as the last ranked team in the 2024–25 season coefficient table, they will be fined an additional $MXN20 million.

The 2024–25 aggregate table (the sum of points of both the Apertura 2024 and Clausura 2025 seasons) is used to determine the participants for the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup. The league champions with more points at the end of the Apertura 2024 and Clausura 2025 seasons qualifies directly to the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16. The league champions with fewer points at the end of the season qualifies for the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup first round. In addition, the Apertura runners-up, Clausura runners-up, and the next two best ranked teams also qualify for the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup first round. The first place club also receives US$1 million in prize money and a recognition at the 2025 Balón de Oro.
