Balón de Oro, also referred to as Mexican Golden Ball (Spanish: Balón de Oro del fútbol mexicano), is an annual awards ceremony held by the Mexican Federation of Association Football to recognize outstanding association football players, head coaches, and referees of the Liga MX each season.

Since the 1996–1997 season, the league championship has been split into two single-round tournaments, giving rise to the current Apertura and Clausura arrangement, and Balón de Oro followed them.

In 2001–2002, no awards were handed out as the officials forgot to organize an election.

[1] The ceremony entered a 4-year hiatus following the 2012 Clausura until the 2015–16 Liga MX season.

The Mexican Best Footballer (Spanish: Balón de Oro al mejor jugador, literally "Golden Ball to the Best Football Player") is a semi-annual award given by the Mexican Federation of Association Football as one of the Balón de Oro Awards.
