Liguilla (Playoffs)

If the two teams are tied after both legs, the away goals rule applies. If both teams still tied, higher seeded team advances.
Teams are re-seeded every round.
The winner will qualify to the playoff match vs (Clausura 2017 Champions) . However, if the winner is the same in both tournaments, they would be the team promoted to the 2017–18 Liga MX season without playing the Promotional Final
