The four direct qualifiers and the teams that will play the Liga MX playoff were defined

The Clausura 2022 Tournament in Liga MX came to an end with all the positions defined. There were 18 teams that competed, but not all of them will be in the second phase. Find out in the following note which teams are classified to the Liguilla directly and who will seek to enter through the playoffs.

The first four places will be in the league directly: Pachuca, Tigres, Atlas and America. While those located in positions five to 12 must play the playoff.

Those who will seek their pass and the order of the matches will be as follows: Puebla, fifth, will receive Mazatlán, twelfth; Guadalajara, sixth, to the Pumas, eleventh; Monterrey, seventh to San Luis, tenth, and Cruz Azul, eighth, to Necaxa, ninth.
