Campeón de Campeones is anassociation football competition inMexico and the domesticsuper cup between theLiga MX champions of theApertura andClausura tournaments. It was initially a super cup match between the league and cup champions. Since 2018, the winners of the Campeón de Campeones have competed in theCampeones Cup, facing theMLS champions.[1]
América andGuadalajara are the most successful clubs with 7 titles each, followed byLeón,Toluca andAtlas with 5 titles each. In all, eighteen clubs have won the Campeón de Campeones at least once.
The beginning of theprofessional era of the Campeón de Campeones was established for the 1942–43 season, the first professional edition was held in 1943. Previously, an edition was played corresponding to the 1941–42 season, still in the consideredamateur era of Mexican football. The trophy was presented by the president of Mexico at the time,Manuel Ávila Camacho. From 1942 to 1995 the tournament was contested between theLiga MX champions and theCopa MX champions. Traditionally the single match (with an exception in 1968 and 1988 when two matches were played) to determine the "super cup" winner was held at the end of the season at a stadium in Mexico City.
If a team won the league and cup titles of the same year, they were awarded the titleCampeonísimo with an automatic awarding of the Campeón de Campeones trophy. To date this has only occurred on five occasions (León in 1949,Cruz Azul in 1969,Guadalajara in 1970,Puebla in 1990, andNecaxa in 1995).
After 1995 the league championship was split into two shorter seasonsApertura and Clausura. Then in 1997, theFMF canceled the cup tournament. Due to these changes, theCampeón de Campeones was postponed. The competition resumed in the 2002–03 season; however, this time it was contested between the champions of Apertura and Clausura. The competition was held four times and was placed on hiatus again from 2007 to 2014.
In 2012, an unofficial match was played between the Liga MX champions and the Ascenso MX champions,Leon beatSantos Laguna 2–0.[2][3] In the 2013–14 season, the Liga MX stipulated that a Campeón de Campeones match should be contested between the champions of the Apertura 2013 and Copa MX Apertura 2013,[4] but it was not officially disputed.
The format was changed to a single match at a neutral site, which is in the United States and shared with theSupercopa MX match, and the team with the higher aggregate table points across both Apertura and Clausura tournaments is declared the designated “home” team.[5][6]In 2015, theLiga MX restarted the Campeón de Campeones with the match betweenSantos Laguna andAmérica, the match was played at a neutral venue (Toyota Stadium inFrisco, Texas), that was the first edition of the competition that was played in the United States.
Similarly to the traditional tournament, if a team wins both the Apertura and Clausura seasons, the team is automatically awarded the Campeón de Campeones trophy. This has occurred twice,Atlas in 2022 for winning the 2021 Apertura and the 2022 Clausura.Club América in 2024 for winning the 2023 Apertura and the 2024 Clausura.
Starting in 2022, if the club won both Apertura and Clausura tournaments in the same Liga MX season, theCampeón de Campeones will be awarded automatically.[7] However, due to the league commercial commitments, the club will be featured against previous holder ofCampeón de Campeones in a competition calledSupercopa de la Liga MX.[8]
