Atlético Morelia was promoted from Segunda División.

After the season, the owner of Atlético Español decided to sell the team to the Mexican league. This gave way for Necaxa to come back to play in the 1982-83 season.

Tampico was relegated to Segunda División, however, the oil workers' syndicate acquired the Atletas Campesinos franchise and created a new team called Tampico Madero.
