The Clausura 2023 Liga MX final phase[1] was played between 6 May and 28 May 2023.[1] A total of twelve teams competed in the final phase to decide the champions of the Clausura 2023 Liga MX season.[1] For the sixth straight season, an additional qualifying round, the reclassification or repechaje, was employed, which expanded the number of final phase spots to twelve. The winners of the reclassification matches advanced to the quarter-finals of the liguilla (mini league).

UANL defeated Guadalajara 3–2 on aggregate to win their eighth league title. As winners, UANL faced Pachuca in the 2023 Campeón de Campeones.

Format

Reclassification

  • All rounds were played in a single match hosted by the higher seed
  • If a match ended in a draw, it proceeded directly to a penalty shoot-out.

Liguilla

  • Teams were re-seeded after each round.
  • The winners of the reclassification matches were seeded based on their ranking in the classification table.
  • Team with more goals on aggregate after two matches advanced.
  • No away goals rule was applied in either round; if the two teams were tied on aggregate, the higher-seeded team advanced.
  • In the final, if the two teams were tied after both legs, the match went to extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shoot-out.
  • Both finalists qualified for the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
