The 2002–03 season was Morelia's 53rd season in existence and their 22nd consecutive season in the top flight of Mexican football. The club participated in the Apertura and Clausura tournaments of the Mexican Primera División and in the 2003 CONCACAF Champions' Cup (the entire tournament, except for the finals, were played on the first semester of 2003).

Monarcas Morelia had a partially successful season. They achieved to reach both Apertura and Clausura tournaments' finals, but lost them both. They were defeated by Toluca in the Apertura tournament final and lost the Clausura tournament to Monterrey, despite ending the regular tournament as leaders of the championship.[1][2]

Internationally, Morelia classified to the CONCACAF Champion's Cup final, that would be played on the team's next season.[3]
