Answer

Typically eight teams participate in the playoff system in Mexican football. The Liguilla (playoff system) begins after the regular season concludes and is contested by the top eight teams in the league table. The teams are seeded according to their position in the regular season table and compete in a single-elimination tournament. The final two teams remaining in the Liguilla compete in a two-legged final to determine the league champion.
