The 1970–71 Club América season is the club's 33rd consecutive season in the top-flight of Mexican football. The team competed in the Liga MX, Copa México and the Campeón de Campeones, winning the Liga MX that season.
Season summary The 1970–71 season saw a radical shift in Mexican football. Initially, the club had a rough start throughout the few games under Argentine manager Luis Grill Prieto until he was sacked and replaced with José Antonio Roca who was already working with the Mexican Football Federation at the suggestion of Pedro Portilla to club president Guillermo Cañedo de la Bárcena. This season also saw Horacio López Salgado resume his position as a forward alongside Enrique Borja who was also the top goalscorer of the season with 20 goals scored. Finally, the season saw the signing of various foreign players as Brazilian midfielder Toninho and Chilean midfielder Roberto Hodge. With América winning the Primera División through the new final stage of the tournament, it would solidify its rivalry with Toluca.
