Mexican Senate to debate restoring promotion and relegation

Mexico's top leagues have played without promotion or relegation since 2020, and now the Senate may step in.

What happened. Mexican leagues stopped promotion and relegation in 2020 because of Covid-19, and a promised return in 2025 has not happened. On Tuesday, Senator Clemente Castañeda of Movimiento Ciudadano will propose a legislative reform to restore the system, backed by other party leaders including Ignacio Mier of Morena.

• Sen. Clemente Castañeda of Movimiento Ciudadano is putting forward the proposal.
• Ignacio Mier of the ruling Morena party is among the backers.
• The promised 2025 return of promotion and relegation never materialized.

The Senate proposal marks the first legislative attempt to bring back promotion and relegation after five years without it.
