Sources: Clubs sue Liga MX for pro/rel return

  • In May 2025, eleven clubs from Mexico’s second-tier Liga MX Expansion initiated legal action against the top-flight Liga MX teams and the national football governing body, seeking to have promotion and relegation between the divisions reinstated.
  • The suspension began in 2020 for six seasons to protect clubs financially from COVID-19 pandemic impacts but Liga MX wants the change permanent.
  • Liga MX's desire for a closed league system resembles MLS, includes multi-club ownership concerns and disputes over ignored reintegration requests.
  • Lawyer Eduardo Carlezzo described the case as a landmark football conflict in Mexico, emphasizing the $1.25 billion investment risks and longstanding structural problems within the sport.
  • The dispute pressures the upcoming May 26 Liga MX assembly and could determine if promotion and relegation return for 2025-26 or 2026-27 seasons.
