Liguilla (Playoffs)

The eight best teams play two games against each other on a home-and-away basis. The winner of each match up is determined by aggregate score. If the teams are tied, the away goals rule applies. The higher seeded teams play on their home field during the second leg.

  • If the two teams are tied after both legs, the away goals rule applies. If both teams still tied, higher seeded team advances.
  • Teams are re-seeded every round.
  • The winner will qualify to the playoff match vs (Clausura 2017 Champions) . However, if the winner is the same in both tournaments, they would be the team promoted to the 2017–18 Liga MX season without playing the Promotional Final
