The Primera División A (First Division A) is the second level of the Mexican League System of football. Teams have a chance to gain promotion to the Primera División de México; nevertheless, as many teams are affiliates (reserves) of Primera División teams, they are not promoted even if they win the championship. The bottom teams get relegated to the Segunda division.
