Stats are from the regular season only

The 2025–26 Liga de Expansión MX season is the sixth professional season of the second-tier football division in Mexico. The season is divided into two championships—the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura—each in an identical format. The Apertura tournament will begin on 1 August 2025. The Clausura tournament will begin in January 2026.

Changes from the previous season

The Liga de Expansión MX is a Mexican football league founded in 2020 as part of the Mexican Football Federation's "Stabilization Project", which has the primary objective of rescuing the financially troubled teams from the Ascenso MX and prevent the disappearance of a second-tier league in Mexico, for which there will be no promotion and relegation during the following six years.[1] The project also attempts for Liga MX and former Ascenso MX teams to consolidate stable projects with solid basis, sports-wise and administrative-wise, financially wise and in infrastructure.

  • The 2024–25 Serie A runner–ups Irapuato was certified for promotion to the Liga de Expansión MX. However, the team will participate as a guest team and not as a full member of the league.[2]
  • On June 10, 2025, Celaya F.C. sold the franchise to businessmen from Veracruz, who formed a team called Piratas de Veracruz. However, the new team had to be approved by the owner's assembly. On June 19 the transaction was blocked by a vote among the owners of the other Liga de Expansión clubs,[3] so the franchise was put on hiatus for the 2025–26 season.[4]
  • In May 2025, Cimarrones de Sonora attempted to sell its franchise to Club Jaiba Brava, so the Tampico–Madero team would become a full member of the league.[5] However, the transaction was blocked by a vote among the owners of the other Liga de Expansión clubs.[6] Following the vote, Cimarrones de Sonora was granted an additional year to maintain its franchise on hiatus, while Jaiba Brava will continue to participate in the league as a guest team.[7]
  • Dorados de Sinaloa will continue playing their home games at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana due to security issues in Culiacán.[8]

Coefficient table

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.[37] As of the 2023–24 season, the bottom three ranked Liga de Expansión MX teams will not pay a fine. The last ranked team can not qualify for the Clausura 2026 liguilla.
