This tournament will feature the clubs from the Liga MX who did not participate in the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League (Tijuana, Toluca, América and Cruz Azul),[4] and the teams who will participate in the 2014 Copa Libertadores (León, Santos Laguna and Morelia) will not participate as well. The first 13 Ascenso MX teams in the classification phase during the Apertura 2013 season will participate.[5]

Tiebreakers

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

Group stage

Every group is composed by four clubs, two from Liga MX and two from Ascenso MX. Instead of a traditional robin-round schedule, the clubs will play in three two-legged "rounds", the last one being contested by clubs of the same league.

Each win gives a club 3 points, each draw gives 1 point. An extra point is awarded for every round won; a round is won by aggregated score, and if it is a tie, the extra point will be awarded to the team with higher number of goals scored away.[1]
