Primera División de México (Mexican First Division) Clausura 2008 was a Mexican football tournament - the second of two tournaments held in the 2007/2008 season. It began January 18, 2008 and ran until June 1, 2008. Veracruz and Morelia inaugurated the season, with Morelia winning 1-0. Reigning champions Atlante F.C. were eliminated from making the Liguilla with a 3-2 loss to Monterrey and thus could not defend their title, and Veracruz was relegated to the Primera División A after finishing last on the percentage table. Six teams- Toluca, Jaguares, Santos Laguna, Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Cruz Azul- qualified directly to the Liguilla (playoffs) by finishing in the top two of their respective groups. Four teams- San Luis, Pachuca, Necaxa, and Atlas- advanced to the Repechaje (playoff qualifiers).
