Current: 2019–20 Ascenso MX season
Ascenso MX was the second tier of professional football in Mexico of the Mexican football league system.[1] The champion of the competition was promoted to Liga MX (top-flight tier). The bottom team was relegated to Liga Premier (the third tier). It was sponsored by BBVA through its Mexican subsidiary BBVA, and was officially known as Ascenso BBVA MX.
Formerly known as Primera División A (First Division A) the league rebranded in 2009 its name and competition format to Liga de Ascenso. It was rebranded in 2012 as Ascenso MX. The major changes: clubs do not need a FMF certification to be promoted and that the competition no longer used group stages.
Ascenso MX was replaced by Liga de Expansión MX on April 17, 2020.
