The Liga de Ascenso (Promotion League) is the second professional level of the Mexican football league system.[1] The champion of the competition is promoted to the Primera División de México (Mexican First Division).
The bottom team gets relegated to the Segunda División (Mexican Second Division).
Formerly known as Primera División A (First Division A) the league changed its name and competition format in 2009. The main changes are that clubs now don't need a FMF Certification to get promoted and that the competition doesn't use group stages.
