Torneo Apertura
The Apertura 2025 was the first tournament of the season and began on 11 July 2025. The defending champions were Toluca.
For the 2025 Leagues Cup, there was only a one-weekend break for the group stage, which was played between 29 July and 7 August. The rest of the competition was played midweek, so there was no month-long break as in previous seasons.[49]

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 was used to establish the payment of fines that were used for the development of the clubs of the silver circuit.[53]
Per Article 24 of the competition regulations, the payment of $MXN160 million was distributed among the last three positioned in the coefficient table as follows: 80 million in the last place; 47 million the penultimate; and 33 million was paid by the sixteenth team in the table,[54] as of the 2021–22 season the remaining $MXN80 million was paid through the financial remnants generated by the Liga MX itself.[55] The team that finished last on the table started the following season with a coefficient of zero. If the last ranked team, which was Mazatlán, had repeated as the last ranked team in the 2025–26 season coefficient table, they would be fined an additional $MXN20 million.

Aggregate tables
2025–26 aggregate table
The 2025–26 aggregate table (the sum of points of both the Apertura 2025 and Clausura 2026 seasons) was used to determine the participants for the 2027 CONCACAF Champions Cup. The league champions with the most points in the 2025–26 aggregate table qualified directly for the 2027 CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16, while the league champion with fewer points in the aggregate table qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup round one. In addition, both Apertura and Clausura runners-up and the next two best-ranked teams in the table also qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup round one. The 2025–26 season champion (first place in table) also received US$1 million in prize money and recognition at the 2026 Balón de Oro.
