The 2020–21 Liga de Expansión MX season is the first professional season of the second-tier football division in Mexico. The season is divided into two championships—the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura—each in an identical format and each contested by the same sixteen teams. The Apertura tournament started on 18 August 2020 and concluded on 20 December 2020. The Clausura tournament started on 12 January 2021 and will conclude in May 2021.

Changes from the previous season

The Liga de Expansión MX is a Mexican football league founded in 2020 as part of the Mexican Football Federation's "Stabilization Project", which has the primary objective of rescuing the financially troubled teams from the Ascenso MX and prevent the disappearance of a second-tier league in Mexico, for which there will be no promotion and relegation during the following six years.{{cite web |url=https://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/liga-mx/liga-mx-aprueba-liga-desarrollo-salvar-ascenso |title=¡Se confirma! No habrá ascenso ni descenso en 6 años; aprueban Liga de Desarrollo |access-date=25 April 2020 |author=Enrique Martínez Villar |date=24 April 2020 |publisher=Mediotiempo}} The project also attempts for Liga MX and former Ascenso MX teams to consolidate stable projects with solid basis, sports-wise and administrative-wise, financially wise and in infrastructure.

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 will be used to establish the payment of fines that will be used for the development of the clubs of the silver circuit.{{Cite web|url=https://www.milenio.com/deportes/futbol/liga-mx-este-sera-el-castigo-para-ultimos-lugares-del-descenso|title=Liga MX. Éste será el castigo para últimos lugares del descenso|first=La|last=Afición|website=Grupo Milenio|accessdate=18 March 2023}}

Per Article 24 of the competition regulations, the payment of $MXN3 million from Liga de Expansión clubs will be distributed among the last three positioned in the coefficient table as follows: Last place pays 1.5 million, the penultimate place pays 1 million, and the sixteenth place pays 500 thousand. If any affiliate club or new club from the Liga Premier is ranked in the bottom three at the end of the season, they are exempt from paying any fine and it will not be covered by any other club. Any club that does not pay their corresponding fine, for any reason, will be dissafiliated. The team that finishes last on the table will start the following season with a coefficient of zero. If the last ranked team repeats as the last ranked team in the 2021–22 season coefficient table, they will be fined an additional $MXN1 million.[https://s3.amazonaws.com/lmxwebsite/docs/Reglamentos/Competencia/12_LIGA_EXPANSION_MX/1_LIGA_EXPANSION_MX_100820.pdf Reglamento de Competencia 2021–2022]
