Mexico: Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional releases 2023 schedule

| American Football | 12/09/2022

After months of speculation, Mexico’s Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional has finally released its weekly schedule for the upcoming 2023 season.

It will be a 10-game season, four more games than last year’s, with the addition of three new teams from the now-defunct Fútbol Americano de México. Also, like last year, the league will not be dividing the teams by division and their seeding will just be league-based, with the top six teams making the playoffs and the top two getting byes for the semifinals.

The announcement only covers the week-by-week schedule but not the exact days and bye weeks for each team.

Every team will play eight of their nine opponents once and their ninth opponent will be against their designated rival, who they will play both home and away. The teams will all play against their rivals in Week 10 just before the playoffs.

They are as follows:
