The 2022–23 Liga MX season (known as the Liga BBVA MX for sponsorship reasons) was the 76th professional season of the top-flight football league in Mexico. The season was divided into two championships—the Apertura 2022 and the Clausura 2023—each in an identical format and each contested by the same eighteen teams. The winners of the two championships met in the 2023 Campeón de Campeones match.

With the 2022 FIFA World Cup commencing on 20 November, the second leg of the Apertura 2022 final was played on 30 October.

Stadiums and locations

The Estadio Azteca will be closed from 2023 to 2025 due to renovations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[1][2] Although the project was anticipated to begin in January 2023, the renovations were postponed for the summer of 2023.[3][4]

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 was used to establish the payment of fines that would be used for the development of the clubs of the silver circuit.[72]

Per Article 24 of the competition regulations, the payment of MXN$160 million was distributed among the last three positioned in the coefficient table as follows: MXN$80 million in the last place; MXN$47 million the penultimate; and MXN$33 million was paid by the sixteenth team in the table,[73] as of the 2021–22 season the remaining MXN$80 million was paid through the financial remnants generated by the Liga MX itself.[74] The team that finished last on the table started the following season with a coefficient of zero. If the last ranked team, which was Juárez, repeated as the last ranked team in the 2022–23 season coefficient table, they would be fined an additional MXN$20 million.

Leagues Cup

The league champion with the highest aggregate points accumulated across the Clausura 2022 and Apertura 2022 seasons qualified directly to the 2023 Leagues Cup round of 32. Liga MX clubs ranked 2 to 16 in the aggregate table were put in the second position in each group, opposite the MLS Supporter's Shield table (for example, the best remaining team in the Supporter's Shield table not earning a bye was drawn against the lowest-best remaining team in the Liga MX 2022 aggregate table). The remaining 13 MLS clubs, along with the two remaining Liga MX clubs, were drawn into groups and divided geographically.[75]
