Description
Liga de Expansión MX, officially named Liga BBVA Expansión MX for sponsorship reasons, is a professional association football league in Mexico and the second level of the Mexican football league system. The league has 16 participating clubs. The season is divided into two short tournaments, according to FIFA world football calendar: Apertura (from July to December) and Clausura (from January to May). The champions of each tournament are decided by a final knockout phase, commonly known as liguilla.
The inaugural edition was the Guard1anes 2020 tournament, with Tampico Madero as the first champions in history. In all, twelve editions of the league have been held.
It was founded as part of the FMF's Stabilization Project, which has the primary objective of rescuing the financially troubled clubs from the Ascenso MX and prevent the disappearance of a second level division in Mexico. The project also attempts for Liga MX and former Ascenso MX clubs to consolidate stable projects with strong administration, finances, and infrastructure.
Atlante is the most successful club with three titles, followed by Jaiba Brava, Tapatío and Tepatitlán with two titles each. In all, seven clubs have won the league at least once.
