- The first four places in the table will qualify for the Liguilla quarter-finals and host the second leg.
- Puebla was penalized for having unregistered assistant coach Luis Miguel Noriega on the bench in their Week 7 match against Tijuana. Puebla originally won the match 3–0 and was awarded to Tijuana as a 1–0 victory.[3] The Court of Arbitration for Sport later reversed the ruling.
