Due to Atlas winning both the Apertura 2021 and Clausura 2022, they were automatically awarded the 2022 Campeón de Campeones title.[3] However, due to
commercial commitments in Liga MX, a match must be played in the United States as the kickoff of the 2022–23 Liga MX season.[4] On 9 June 2022, it was announced Atlas would face defending Campeón de Campeones champions Cruz Azul in a new cup called Supercopa de la Liga MX.[1] This cup will only be played when a club is champion of both the Apertura and Clausura seasons in the same Mexican football year (e.g., Atlas).[1]
