Guardianes 2020 Liga MX championship stage

The Torneo Guardianes 2020 (stylized as Guard1anes) Liga MX final phase was played between 21 November 2020 to 13 December 2020. A total of 12 teams competed in the final phase to decide the champions of the Guardianes 2020 Liga MX season. For the first time since the Clausura 2008 season, an additional qualifying round, the reclassification or repechaje, was employed, expanding the number of playoff spots from eight to 12.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico, all matches of the final phase, except for the first leg of the quarter-final between Guadalajara and América, were played behind closed doors.

Both finalists qualified to the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League.
