The tournament started on 8 January 2019 and ended on 10 April 2019.[1]

The final was held at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez in Ciudad Juárez with the visiting team América defeating Juárez 0–1 to win their record sixth title.

As winners, América earned the right to face Cruz Azul in the 2019 Supercopa MX. However, they also won the Apertura 2018 Liga MX, and thus qualified for the 2019 Campeón de Campeones. They were replaced by the Supercopa MX title holders, Necaxa.[2]

Draw

edit

The draw for the tournament took place on 11 December 2018.[31] 27 teams were drawn into nine groups of three, with each group containing one team from each of the three pots. Unlike other tournaments, the draw was carried out virtually, instead of being drawn from a pot.[31]

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.[32] The Liga MX teams in Pot 1 are the four best teams in the Apertura 2018 classification table not participating in the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League.[3] The Apertura 2018 winner Cruz Azul (who is also first in classification table) is also in Pot 1.[32] Pot 1 also contained the top four Ascenso MX teams in the Apertura 2018 classification table.[32]

Pot 2 contained the next four best placed Liga MX clubs in the Apertura 2018 classification table not participating in the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League and Ascenso MX clubs who ended 5–9 in the Aggregate table.[32]

'Pot 3 contains the next five best Liga MX clubs in the Apertura 2018 classification table not participating in the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League. Pot 3 also contains the Ascenso MX clubs who ended 10–13 in the Apertura 2018 classification table.[32]
