Competition format
The teams play two short tournaments that divide the regular season in half, resulting in two champions.[2] The Apertura runs from November to February and the Clausura from February to April. If one team wins both phases, they are named the champion of the league. Should two different teams win the individual phases, a knockout playoff is scheduled. There is a post-season knockout playoff that is played after the end of the clausura schedule.
The league has been renamed seven times in the 26 years since it was founded;[3]
