Primera División A Clausura 2009

If the two teams are tied after both legs in the quarterfinals and semifinals the higher seed advances automatically.

In the finals, if the two teams are tied after both legs two 15 minute halves of extra time are added.

If the teams are still tied after extra time the champion is determined through a penalty shootout.

In order for a team to be promoted it has to obtain a certification from the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol Asociación.

If the winner of the promotional final is not certified for promotion a home and away series is played between the highest placed certified team and the club being relegated to the Primera División A to determine which will be in the Primera División.
