Who qualifies for CONCACAF competitions
For the CONCACAF Champions Cup, up to nine Mexican football clubs are eligible for entry into the competition.

 * Two highest-ranked clubs in Liga MX aggregate table that have not already qualified
 * Leagues Cup champions, runners-up, and third place finishers
