The Apertura 2019 Liga MX championship stage commonly known as Liguilla (mini league) was played from 27 November 2019 to 29 December 2019.[1] Due to finalist Monterrey participating in the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup, the final was postponed to 29 December from 15 December.[2] A total of eight teams competed in the championship stage to decide the champions of the Apertura 2019 Liga MX season. Both finalists qualified to the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League.
