Notes:
  1. Veracuz were disaffiliated by the Mexican Football Federation following various financial problems and incidents off the field. As a result, no club was relegated after the Clausura 2020. Relegation was originally intended to resume at the end of the 2020–21 season,[13] however it was suspended for at least five years after the Ascenso MX was folded.[14][15]
