What system was used to decide the champion of Liga MX before the Liguilla system?

  • Position on the league table

  • Coin toss

  • Penalty shootout

  • There were no playoffs before Liguilla

Answer

Prior to the introduction of the Liguilla in 1970–71, the champion of the Liga MX was determined at the end of the regular season by points. The top team in the table was declared champion. The Liguilla system introduced a knockout stage at the end of the regular season, which allowed for more teams to participate in the title race.
