In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.

(R) Relegated.
Notes:
  1. Both finalists of each tournament qualify to the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League, thus are ineligible for the Apertura 2016 Copa MX
  2. The 12 best teams in the Aggregate table not qualified to the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League qualify to the Apertura 2016 Copa MX.
  3. The worst non-relegated team in the Aggregate table is ineligible for the Apertura 2016 Copa MX.
  4. The team that is relegated from Liga MX after the Clausura tournament is eligible for the Copa MX regardless of its position in the standings. The team last place in the Relegation table is relegated to the Ascenso MX, and is also placed in pot 1 for the Apertura 2016 Copa MX as one of the four best Ascenso MX teams.
