The national champions of Mexican football are the winners of the Liga MX, which is the top level division in Mexico. Formerly called Liga Mayor (1943-1949) and then Primera División de México (1949-2012). The league's professional era began in the 1943-44 season.
Since 1970 a final phase called "liguilla" has been held to define the champions. Since 1996 there are two champions every year, starting with the Invierno and Verano tournaments (1996-2002), then with the Apertura and Clausura tournaments (2002-present).
