The 2014–15 Liga MX season (known as the Liga BBVA Bancomer MX for sponsorship reasons) was the 68th professional top-flight football league season in Mexico. The season was split into two competitions: the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura; each of identical format and contested by the same eighteen teams.

Clubs

Eighteen teams competed that season. Atlante was relegated to the Ascenso MX after accumulating the lowest coefficient over the past three seasons. Atlante was relegated and replaced by the Apertura 2013 Ascenso MX champion Leones Negros, after defeating in a promotional play-off the Clausura 2014 title defenders Estudiantes Tecos.
