The 2023 Liga de Balompié Mexicano season was composed of the 4th and 5th professional seasons of the most important league of competitions organized by the Asociación Nacional del Balompié Mexicano, a Mexican football federation affiliated with CONIFA. The season began on 10 February 2023 and finished on 25 November 2023.
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 participated in the league. Cóndor FC, EFIX Soccer Club and RED entered the league as expansion teams. Halcones de Querétaro withdrew from the LBM due to financial problems, but the reserve team remained in the Segunda División del Balompié Mexicano. Toros México was promoted from the Segunda División del Balompié Mexicano. 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.
2023–B season changes 12 teams will participate in the league. 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. Lobos MX was renamed Lobos CARH.
