This tournament began on 17 January 2017 and ended on 19 April 2017.[1][2]

The final was held at Estadio Chivas in the Guadalajara suburb of Zapopan with the home team Guadalajara defeating Morelia 3–1 on penalty kicks to win their fourth title.

As winners, Guadalajara earned a spot to face Querétaro (winners of the Apertura 2016 edition), in the 2017 Supercopa MX.[3]

Participants edit

This tournament featured clubs from Liga MX who did not participate in the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League knockout stages (Monterrey).[4] Due to the Mexican clubs withdrawing from the Copa Libertadores, teams who qualified to the 2017 edition (Tijuana, América and Guadalajara) also participated in the tournament, which made nine groups instead of eight like in the previous edition.[4]

The tournament also featured the top 12 Ascenso MX teams of the Apertura 2016 classification table.[5]

The draw for the tournament took place on December 14, 2016, at the Mexican Football Federation headquarters in Toluca, Mexico.[6] 27 teams were drawn into nine groups of three, with each group containing one team from each of the three pots.[6]

Clubs in Pot 1 were drawn to be the seed of each group according to the order of their drawing. That is, the first club that was drawn is seed of Group 1, the second drawn is seed of Group 2 and so on and so on.[6] The Liga MX teams in Pot 1 are the title holders (Querétaro), the three who qualified to the 2017 Copa Libertadores (Tijuana, Guadalajara, América) and the club not participating in the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League knockout stages (Monterrey).[6] The Ascenso MX teams in Pot 1 are the four best teams in the Apertura 2016 classification table.[6]

Pot 2 contained Liga MX clubs who ended 7–10 in the Apertura 2016 classification table and Ascenso MX clubs who ended 5–9 in the Apertura 2016 classification table.[6]

Pot 3 contained Liga MX clubs who ended 11–16 in the Apertura 2016 classification table and Ascenso MX clubs who ended 10–12 Apertura 2016 classification table.[6]
