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

All but one group is composed by four clubs, two from Liga MX and two from Ascenso MX. The remaining group will have one from Liga MX and three 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 not be awarded to neither team.

All times are UTC-05:00 except for matches in Sinaloa, Tepic (both UTC−06:00) and Tijuana (UTC−07:00)
