The list of football stadiums in Mexico includes all past and present venues of the professional league introduced in 1943 .

The representation is based on the alphabetical order of the cities. Within the cities, the stadiums are listed chronologically (according to the year of their opening or use). Unknown data on the capacity and the opening year remain unfilled. The year numbers in brackets after the clubs refer only to the period in which the stadium is used for first division matches.

The second section lists other important football stadiums that have not previously hosted first division matches. Only stadiums with a capacity of at least 10,000 and which were usually already the venue of the Mexican second division (i.e. the Primera División 'A' between 1994/95 and 2008/09 or the Liga de Ascenso introduced in 2009/10 ) were selected for this . The only exceptions to the second requirement are the stadium of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEM), because it is the home of a professional American football team and, with a capacity of 32,000, is one of the larger stadiums in Mexico, and the Estadio Heriberto Jara Corona , which has already hosted the athletics championships of Central America and the Caribbean three times and is considered one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world.

These lists do not take into account stadiums that are still under construction or in the planning stage that have not yet been used (for professional football).
