Promotion to Ascenso MX

As champion of the two tournaments of the season, Tlaxcala F.C. won the right to be promoted to Ascenso MX, however, because its stadium did not meet the requirements of the league, it was granted a one-year extension to be able to improve its facilities and join the league in 2018.[8] In May 2018 the team lost its right to play at the Ascenso MX for not complying with the improvements in its stadium that were required to be able to participate in the division.[9]
