On 22 May 2023, the Liga MX owners assembly approved a reform for the league that should have been carried out in 2024. This reform planned that the 18 member teams of the Liga MX should have had a U-23 team in the Liga de Expansión, which would have represented a merger between the Expansión MX and the Liga MX U–23.{{cite web |title=Por unanimidad, la Asamblea de Clubes designa a Juan Carlos Rodríguez |url=https://ligamx.net/cancha/detallenoticia/43043/por-unanimidad-la-asamblea-de-clubes-designa-a-juan-carlos-rodriguez-nuevo-presidente-electo-de-la-fmf-para-el-periodo-2023-2026 |website=ligamx.net |access-date=25 May 2023 |language=es |date=22 May 2023}} However, in May 2024 the proposal was scrapped due to opposition from the owners of the Liga de Expansión teams, as they considered that the project represented a degradation of the participating clubs.{{cite web |title=Descartan fusión de la Liga de Expansión con la Sub-23 |url=https://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/liga-de-expansion-mx/descartan-fusion-de-la-liga-de-expansion-con-la-sub-23 |website=Mediotiempo.com |access-date=12 July 2024 |language=es |date=22 May 2024}}
