Current: 2023–24 Serie A de México season

The Serie A has 35 teams (6 Liga de Expansión MX Reserve Teams and 29 Serie A Teams) divided into three groups. For the 2024–25 season, it will be a return of a short tournament format (Apertura & Clausura) consisting of 11 group matches and 3 inter-group matches (14 total) played home & away and the liguilla. The top x teams from each group at the end of the season 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 2024–25 Season, Celaya, Correcaminos UAT, Jaguares, Mineros de Zacatecas, Morelia and Leones Negros all from Liga de Expansión MX will join the Liga Premier to give young players professional experience. However, only Correcaminos UAT, Jaguares and Leones Negros UdeG will have a reserve team, while Celaya, Morelia and Mineros de Zacatecas will have an associated team that will have its own identity.
