2022–23 Serie A de México season

The Serie A has 33 teams (1 Liga MX Reserve Team, 3 Liga de Expansión MX Reserve Teams and 29 Serie A Teams) divided into two groups. For the 2022–23 season, it will be a return of two short tournaments consisting of 10 total matches played home & away and the liguilla. The top 2 teams & two 3rd-place teams from each group at the end of each Torneo will play in the Liguilla for a spot to play for promotion to Liga de Expansión MX provided that their stadiums meet the requirements to ascend.

The Serie A was created in the second half of 2008, with the participation and approval of the owners of the teams of the Second and Third Division, being next to Serie B part of the Liga Premier.

As of the 2022–23 Season, Pachuca from Liga MX; Celaya, Correcaminos UAT, Mineros de Zacatecas, Cimarrones de Sonora and Leones Negros all from Liga de Expansión MX will join the Liga Premier to give young players professional experience. However, only Correcaminos UAT, Cimarrones de Sonora, Leones Negros UdeG and Pachuca will have a reserve team, while Celaya and Mineros de Zacatecas will have an associated team that will have its own identity.
