The 2020–21 Liga MX season was the 74th professional season of the highest level division of association football in Mexico. The season was divided into two short tournaments (Guard1anes 2020 and Guard1anes 2021), each with 18 participating clubs and the same format. Both tournaments were renamed as Guard1anes to honor healthcare workers in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. The season began on 24 July 2020.
The season saw the debut of Mazatlán F.C., replacing Monarcas Morelia, who were relocated to Mazatlán, Sinaloa to become the new Mazatlán franchise, despite backlash from supporters, former players, and the sports media across Mexico. The season saw an expanded playoff system. Twelve teams qualified to the Liguilla instead of eight.
