Stats are from the regular season only

This is the first time that two tournaments have been held per season, abandoning the annual tournament format that had been held since the league's founding in 2020.

Offseason changes
  • 10 teams will participate in the league.[4]
  • Cóndor FC, EFIX Soccer Club and RED entered the league as expansion teams.[4]
  • Halcones de Querétaro withdrew from the LBM due to financial problems, but the reserve team remained in the Segunda División del Balompié Mexicano.[5]
  • Toros México was promoted from the Segunda División del Balompié Mexicano.[6]
  • The format of the league changed, now the ten participating teams were divided into two groups taking the geographical location as division criteria. The two group winners qualify directly for the semifinals, while the second and third place advance to the reclassification stage.[7]

2023–B season changes
  • From 2023–B season two teams joined the league as expansion franchises: Hidalgo F.C. and Kundavi F.C.
  • Inter Ixtapaluca was relocated to Amecameca and renamed Inter Amecameca.
