After 17 matches on the regular season, and 2 two-legged rounds of Liguilla, Tigres UANL and Santos Laguna have reached the final.

This final was the first of Tigres UANL since 2003, when they lost 3 - 2 on aggregate against Pachuca.

Also Tigres UANL hadn't won the league since the 1981–82 season when they became winners against Atlante on a penalty shoot-out.

As the highest seeded team determined at the beginning of the Liguilla, will have home-field advantage for the second leg.

If the teams remained tied after 90 minutes of play during the 2nd leg, extra time will be used, followed by a penalty shootout if necessary.
