The draw for the tournament took place on 12 June 2019 in Cancún.[8] 27 teams were drawn into nine groups of three, with each group containing one team from each of the three pots.

Clubs in Pot 1 were drawn to be the seed of each group according to the order of their drawing. That is, the first club that was drawn is seed of Group 1, the second drawn is seed of Group 2 and so on and so on.[9] The Liga MX teams in Pot 1 are the five best teams in the 2018–19 Liga MX aggregate table not participating in the 2020 CONCACAF Champions League.[9] Pot 1 also contains the top four Ascenso MX teams in the 2018–19 Ascenso MX aggregate table.[9]

Pot 2 contains the next five best placed Liga MX clubs in the 2018–19 Liga MX aggregate table and Ascenso MX clubs who ended 7–11 in the 2018–19 Ascenso MX aggregate table.[9] Pot 2 also contains Juárez who replaced Lobos BUAP (ranked 13th in Liga MX aggregate table) in Liga MX.[9]

Pot 3 contains the next five Liga MX clubs in the 2018–19 Liga MX aggregate table and the Ascenso MX clubs who ended 12–14 in the 2018–19 Ascenso MX aggregate table.[9] Pot 3 also contains recently promoted Atlético San Luis.[9]

If two or more clubs are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:

1. scores of the group matches played among the clubs in question;
2. superior goal difference;
3. higher number of goals scored;
4. higher number of goals scored away in the group matches played among the clubs in question;
5. fair play ranking;
6. drawing of lots.

[10]

Every group is composed of three clubs, each group has at least one club from Liga MX and Ascenso MX.

All match times listed are UTC–6, except for matches in Ciudad Juárez, Culiacán (both UTC–7), Hermosillo and Tijuana (both UTC–8).

• The clubs that advance to this stage will be ranked and seeded 1 to 16 based on performance in the group stage. In case of ties, the same tiebreakers used to rank the runners-up will be used.[10]
• The winners of the groups and the seven best second place teams of each group will advance to the Knockout stage.
• Unlike previous editions, the 16 qualified teams will play a single-elimination tournament. Each tie will be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. There is no away goals rule. If the aggregate score is tied after the second leg, it will proceed directly to a penalty shoot-out. The highest seeded club will host each match, regardless of which division each club belongs.[13][14]
