The 2023–24 Liga TDP season is the fourth-tier football league of Mexico. The tournament began on 7 September 2023 and finished on 31 May 2024.
Competition format The Tercera División (Third Division) is divided into 17 groups. Since the 2009–2010 season, the format of the tournament has been reorganized to a home and away format, which all teams will play in their respective group. The 17 groups consist of teams which are eligible to play in the liguilla de ascenso (promotion play–offs) for four promotion spots, teams who are affiliated with teams in the Liga MX, Liga de Expansión MX and Liga Premier and development teams, which are not eligible for promotion but will play that who the better team in a sixteen team reserves playoff tournament for the entire season.
The regulation awards three points for a win, one point for a tie and zero points for a loss, however, when a match ends tied, a penalty shoot-out is played to award a bonus point to the winning team of the penalty series.
The league format allows participating franchises to rent their place to another team, so some clubs compete with a different name than the one registered with the FMF.
For the 2023–24 season there will be four promotions to the Liga Premier. Two to Serie A and two to Serie B.
Group 1 Group with 14 teams from Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Yucatán.
