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, only selected teams have the right to be promoted if they were to become champions (what it is called the FMF Certification and given after meeting several requisites).

The bottom team gets relegated to the Segunda División.
