It marked the first year since it was restored in 2012 that only one tournament will be played in the Mexican football year.[2] In previous years, two tournaments (Apertura and Clausura) were played throughout the year.[3]
América were the defending champions after they defeated Juárez 0–1 in the Clausura 2019 final.[4]
The winners would have qualified for the 2020 Leagues Cup.[5] However, the Leagues Cup was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in North America.
This has also been the latest edition of the tournament, as it suspended play due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Mexican Football Federation giving preference for matches for the Mexico National Football Team towards the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
