The Copa 2015 MX Clausura was the 73rd staging of the Copa MX, the 46th staging in the professional era and is the sixth tournament played since the 1996–97 edition.
This tournament started on January 20, 2015, and ended April 21, 2015.
Puebla won their fifth title after defeating Guadalajara 4–2 in the final.
This tournament will feature the clubs from the Liga MX who did not participate in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League (León, América, Pachuca and Cruz Azul), and the teams who will participate in the 2015 Copa Libertadores (UANL, Atlas and Morelia) will not participate as well. The first 13 Ascenso MX teams in the classification phase during the Apertura 2014 season will participate.
If two or more clubs are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:
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.

In this stage, all the rounds will be a one-off match. If a game ends in a draw, it will proceed directly to a penalty shoot-out. The highest seeded club will host each match, regardless of which division each club belongs.
