The '''Primera División Apertura 2008''' is a [[Mexico|Mexican]] [[football (soccer)|football]] tournament; one of two tournaments held each year. The tournament will begin on [[2008-07-26]] and will run until [[2008-12-07]]. The 18 teams of the [[Primera División de México|Primera División]] will each play 17 matches, playing each team once. The top two teams in each group will qualify directly to the ''Liguilla'' (playoffs), as well as the two best third place teams in the regular table. In past tournaments, the four best teams after the six group leaders would qualify to the ''Repechaje'' (playoff qualifiers). The two teams that were victorious would qualify to the Liguilla along with the six group leaders. The ''Repechaje'' was discontinued after the [[Primera División Clausura 2008|Clausura 2008]] tournament. The ''Indios'' (Indians) of [[Indios de Ciudad Juárez|Ciudad Juárez]] were promoted to the Primera División after beating [[Club León|León]] in the [[Primera División A]] promotion final. The ''Tiburones Rojos'' (Red Sharks) of [[Deportivo Veracruz|Veracruz]] were relegated to Primera División A after having the worst points to games ratio over the previous six tournaments.
