The 2007/08 season began on August 3, 2007 with the game between the Tecos de la UAG and the Club de Fútbol Pachuca. It ended with 1: 4 from the point of view of the home team and was thus one of the eleven highest away wins of the entire season; because no away team managed a victory by more than three goals difference. Away teams have won seven times with 3-0 and three times with 4-1. The highest-scoring away win result was Santos Laguna's 5-2 win on October 27, 2007 at CF Atlas.
The highest victories of the season were the 8-0 victory of Pumas UNAM against Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz in Apertura (November 4, 2007) and Club Deportivo Guadalajara's 6-0 victory over CA Monarcas Morelia (February 2, 2008) in Clausura ). The Apertura game with the highest goals was on November 10, 2007, the last day of the preliminary round, between Guadalajara and the Jaguares (5: 4), the Clausura game with the highest goals on April 5, 2008 between Monterrey and Veracruz (7: 2).

There were a total of 306 point games and 28 games in the Liguilla , the Spanish name for the play-offs , so a total of 334 games for the two championships.
In the regular round of points, each team had to play 34 games, 17 each in the Apertura and the Clausura.

Most of the games (44) were played by the Santos Laguna team, which advanced to the semi-finals in the 2007 Apertura and won the 2008 Clausura.
Querétaro FC , relegated in the previous year , was replaced by promoted Puebla FC. At the end of the 2007/08 season, the CD Veracruz rose from the Primera División and was replaced in the 2008/09 season by the promoted Club de Fútbol Indios .
The point game round
In the regular season (which did not take into account the Liguilla ), the 2-1 result was the most common result. It occurred a total of 50 times and was also the most common away win result (24 times).
