It marked the first year since it was restored in 2012 that only one tournament will be played in the Mexican football year. In previous years, two tournaments (Apertura and Clausura) were played throughout the year.

América were the defending champions after they defeated Juárez 0–1 in the Clausura 2019 final.

The winners would have qualified for the 2020 Leagues Cup. However, the Leagues Cup was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in North America.

This has also been the latest edition of the tournament, as it suspended play due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Mexican Football Federation giving preference for matches for the Mexico National Football Team towards the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
