The 1946 Mexican League season was the 22nd season in the history of the Mexican League (LMB). It was contested by eight teams. Alijadores de Tampico won their second consecutive title, finishing with a records of 56 wins and 41 losses, beating the runners-up, Diablos Rojos del México, by one game.

This season was notable due to the conflict between the Mexican League, in its first year under president Jorge Pasquel, and Major League Baseball (MLB). Pasquel attempted to lure major league players to Mexico by offering higher wages, earning the ire of MLB Commissioner Happy Chandler, as the Mexican League existed outside so-called "organized baseball." 22 major leaguers ended up defecting, or "jumping", to the Mexican League, though these players would be banned from playing in MLB-affiliated ball under Chandler's orders.
