The 2020–21 Liga TDP season is the fourth-tier football league of Mexico. The tournament began on 25 September 2020 and finished on 3 July 2021.
Competition format The Tercera División (Third Division) is divided into 14 groups. For 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 14 groups consist of teams which are eligible to play in the liguilla de ascenso for two 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 filial playoff tournament for the entire season.
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.
Due to the suspension of the previous season, for the 2020–21 season there will be four promotions to the Liga Premier. Two to Serie A and two to Serie B.
Group 1 Group with 12 teams from Campeche, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Yucatán. Note: Delfines Márquez was announced as a participant for the season, but was excluded from the league after week 15 for failing to fulfill his obligations as an affiliated club.
