1.^ Querétaro may remain in the top 8, but they can no longer qualify to the liguilla as they have been relegated to Ascenso MX next season. If they at least place 8th, then the team placing 9th will qualify to the liguilla[1]

Bracket

[edit]

The eight qualified teams play two games against each other on a home-and-away basis. The winner of each match up is determined by aggregate score.

The teams were seeded one to eight in quarterfinals, and will be re-seeded one to four in semifinals, depending on their position in the general table. The higher seeded teams play on their home field during the second leg.
