==Amateur era==

Prior to the ''Liga Mayor'', football was disputed within geographical regions. The winners of the ''Primera Fuerza'', a local league consisting of teams near and around [[Mexico City]], were considered national champions. There were other regional leagues such as the ''Liga Veracruzana'', ''Liga Occidental'' and ''Liga del Bajío'' that also had notable clubs. Many club owners were not keen on the idea of establishing a professional league, despite paying players under the table. With the increasing demand of football, there was a sense of urgency to unite all the local amateur leagues in [[Mexico]] to progress as a footballing nation. The national league was finally established in 1943.

==Professional era==

When the F.M.F. announced the formation of the nation's first professional league, many clubs petitioned to join the newly formed league. The F.M.F. announced that ten clubs would form the ''Liga Mayor''. The first members of the league were founded by six clubs of the ''Primera Fuerza'' of Mexico City, two clubs from the ''Liga Occidental'' (Western League) and two members from the ''Liga Veracruzana'' (Veracruz League).

===Founding members===

:Primera Fuerza: [[Club América|América]], Asturias, [[CF Atlante|Atlante]], España, Marte and Moctezuma<br />

:Liga Occidental: [[CF Atlas|Atlas]] and [[Chivas de Guadalajara|Guadalajara]]<br />

:Liga Veracruzana: A.D. Orizabeño and [[CD Veracruz|Veracruz]]

Expansion was evident as popularity increased. This popularity led to the league expanding the number of team participating. The F.M.F. changed the name of the ''Liga Mayor'' in [[1950]] to ''Primera División'' and established the ''Segunda División'' (Second Division).

==Reformation==

Throughout the late [[1950s]] and early [[1960s]], many small clubs faced economic difficulties which were attributed to the lack of international competition by Mexican clubs and an unrewarding league format. Mexican clubs who placed relatively high in the league standings did not have the luxury to participate in prestigious international tournaments (such as the [[Copa Libertadores]] or the [[UEFA Champions League]]) as many South American and European clubs did. The F.M.F. knew they had to act to regenerate interest to save many of the smaller clubs from bankruptcy and recruit new investors. The F.M.F., along with affluent club owners, were able to attract key investors. As a result, the F.M.F was in a position to host the [[Football World Cup|FIFA World Cup]].

==The Mexican League Boom==

The [[Football World Cup 1970|1970 FIFA World Cup]] held in Mexico was the first World Cup televised on a grand scale. For that one summer, the world looked to Mexico. This set a trend in marketing, recruitment and development. The new stadiums practice facilities built for the World Cup set a path for future events to come. Prior to the World Cup, the ''Liga Mayor'' awarded the team with the most points as national champions. The season following the FIFA World Cup, the F.M.F. changed the league format and established a playoff phase to determine the national champion. This was done to regenerate interest and reward teams that placed fairly high in the standings.

==The Playoffs==

The birth of the playoffs modernized the league despite the disagreements between the tradionalist and the modernist. Clubs that were near bankruptcy now were able to compete and generate profits. The playoffs have evolved since their inception. Today the teams are divided into groups, with the top teams from each group qualifing for a playoff phase called ''Liguilla''. This playoff phase is played in two-leg aggregate-score format, similar to the quarterfinals and semifinals of the UEFA Champions League.

In [[1996]], the league decided to split the season into two championships. This measure was done to generate additional revenues to finance the F.M.F.'s lower divisions. The league holds two tournaments per year, first called ''invierno'' (winter) and ''verano'' (spring), now changed to ''clausura'' (closing) and ''apertura'' (opening).

At the end of a season, after the ''apertura'' and ''clausura'' tournaments, one team is relegated to the next lower division, ''[[Primera División A]]'', and one team from that division is promoted and takes the place left open by the relegated team. Currently, the relegated team is determined by computing the points-per-game-played ratio for each team, considering all the games played by the team during the last three seasons (six tournaments). The team with the lower ratio is relegated. For teams recently promoted, only the games played since their promotion are considered (two or four tournaments). The team promoted from ''Primera Division A'' is the winner of a two-leg match between the champions of the ''apertura'' and ''clausura'' tournaments of that division. If a team becomes the champion in both tournaments, it is automatically promoted.
