Clausura 2017 Liga MX final phase explained

Prevseason:	Apertura 2016
Nextseason:	Apertura 2017

The Clausura 2017 Liga MX championship stage commonly known as liguilla (mini league) was played from 10 May to 28 May 2017.^[1] A total of eight teams were competing in the championship stage to decide the champions of the Clausura 2017 Liga MX season. C.D Guadalajara won the final after defeating UANL 4–3 on aggregate.^[2] Both finalists qualified to the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League. However, since UANL had already qualified for that tournament by winning the Apertura 2016 Liga MX final, their berth earned through the Clausura passed to the non-finalist with the best aggregate regular season record, Tijuana.

Format

• Teams are re-seeded each round.
• Team with more goals on aggregate after two matches advances.
• Away goals rule is applied in the quarterfinals and semifinals, but not the final.
• In the quarterfinals and semifinals, if the two teams are tied on aggregate and away goals, the higher seeded team advances.
• In the final, if the two teams are tied after both legs, the match goes to extra time and, if necessary, a shoot-out.
• Both finalists qualify to the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League (in Pot 3).
