Preseason events

=Expansion and stadium changes=

Two new teams joined the league for the 2019 season: Artilleros Puebla, based in Puebla, and Osos Toluca, based in Toluca, State of Mexico. This expansion raises the number of teams in the league to eight.{{cite news|title=El futbol americano en México se alista con la LFA|url=https://www.milenio.com/deportes/americano/el-futbol-americano-en-mexico-se-alista-con-la-lfa|newspaper=Milenio|date=21 February 2019|access-date=25 February 2019|language=Spanish}}

During the first LFA season, the Estadio Jesús Martínez "Palillo" hosted all the league's teams. Nevertheless, 2019 will be the first season in which none of the teams would play there, due to the fact that the stadium is now working as shelter for Central American migrants.{{cite news|title=Estadio "Palillo" Martínez, el adiós al inmueble que vio nacer a la LFA|url=https://maximoavance.com/2019/02/estadio-palillo-martinez-el-adios-al-inmueble-que-vio-nacer-a-la-lfa/|publisher=Máximo Avance|date=17 February 2019|access-date=25 February 2019|language=Spanish}}

  • Condors was supposed to be the only team playing at the Estadio Jesús Martínez "Palillo", but moved to the ITESM Santa Fe stadium in the district of Santa Fe after Mexico City's government designed the "Palillo" Martínez stadium as a temporary shelter for Central American migrants.{{cite news|title=Debido a migrantes, el equipo Condors cambiará de sede a Santa Fe|url=https://www.20minutos.com.mx/deportes/noticia/debido-a-migrantes-el-equipo-condors-cambiara-de-sede-a-santa-fe-482428/0/|publisher=20 Minutos|date=19 February 2019|access-date=25 February 2019|language=Spanish}}
  • Mayas moved from the "Palillo" Martínez to the Estadio Wilfrido Massieu, which is regularly used by the Instituto Politécnico Nacional Águilas Blancas college football team.{{cite web|title=Viene la nueva era en el Imperio Azul|url=https://lfa.mx/viene-la-nueva-era-en-el-imperio-azul/|website=LFA.mx|date=4 January 2019|access-date=25 February 2019|language=Spanish}}
  • Mexicas also moved from the Estadio Jesús Martínez "Palillo" to the Casco de Santo Tomás, the training ground of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional football teams.{{cite web|title=Alianza Mexicas LFA-IPN|url=https://lfa.mx/alianza-mexicas-lfa-ipn/|website=LFA.mx|date=16 October 2018|access-date=25 February 2019|language=Spanish}}
  • Raptors moved from the Estadio José Ortega Martínez to the field of the National Autonomous University of Mexico Acatlán campus.

In November 2018, the LFA signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with the CFL to share resources and to allow for at least one CFL game to be played in Mexico, as well as lay the ground work for special Mexican-specific editions of the CFL Combine and CFL Draft.{{cite web|url=https://toronto.citynews.ca/2018/11/23/cfl-lfa-sign-letter-of-intent-to-grow-football-in-canada-and-mexico|accessdate=23 November 2018|title=CFL, LFA sign letter of intent to grow football in Canada and Mexico}}

On January 11, 2019, 51 players from the LFA and Mexican college ranks were announced as participants in a combine to beheld on January 13 and a 27-player draft to be held on January 14, 2019.
