Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Number of goals scored; 4) Head-to-head results between tied teams; 5) Number of goals scored away; 6) Highest relegation coefficient; 7) Fair Play points.
Notes: The first 8 places in the table (excluding the last place team in the relegation table) qualify for the Liguilla. The team that is relegated from Liga MX after the Clausura tournament is ineligible for the Liguilla regardless of its position in the standings.

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 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League (in Pot 3).
