The following are statistics of Primera División de México, the premier soccer division in Mexico, for the 1994–95 season.

Overview[edit]

It was contested by 19 teams, and Necaxa won the championship.

The U. de G. franchise briefly disappeared after being acquired by a few Primera Division A teams.

Tampico Madero was promoted from Segunda División. The team started the season playing in Tamaulipas, but on week 16, the team was moved to Querétaro and changed its name to TM Gallos Blancos,[2] the owner cited leasing problems at his original venue.[3]

TM Gallos Blancos and Correcaminos UAT were relegated to Primera División ‘A’, the new second-level league in the Mexican system. For the 1995–96 season, the number of participating teams was reduced to 18.

Toros Neza returned to Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl after one season playing in Pachuca.
