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 2020 and the Torneo Guardianes 2021—each in an identical format and each contested by the same eighteen teams. Both the Apertura 2020 and Clausura 2021 tournaments were renamed Torneo Guardianes 2020 and Torneo Guardianes 2021 (stylized as Guard1anes) to honor healthcare workers in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[1][2] The Guardianes 2020 tournament began on 24 July 2020.[3]

This season saw 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.[4][5] This season will also see an expanded playoff system. Twelve teams will now qualify to the Liguilla instead of eight.[6]

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.[49]

Per Article 24 of the competition regulations, the payment of $MXN240 million will be distributed among the last three positioned in the coefficient table as follows: 120 million in the last place; 70 million the penultimate; and 50 million will be paid by the sixteenth team in the table.[50]

The team that finishes last on the table will start the following season with a coefficient of zero. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic suspending the Clausura 2020 season, the points obtained in the 2020–21 season between matches not held in the Clausura 2020, will now count as double for the 2020–21 coefficient.[50]
