Clausura 2017 Liga MX final phase

The Clausura 2017 Liga MX championship stage commonly known as liguilla (mini league) was played from 10 May to 28 May 2017.[1] A total of eight teams were competing in the championship stage to decide the champions of the Clausura 2017 Liga MX season. C.D Guadalajara won the final after defeating UANL 4–3 on aggregate.[2] Both finalists qualified to the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League. However, since UANL had already qualified for that tournament by winning the Apertura 2016 Liga MX final, their berth earned through the Clausura passed to the non-finalist with the best aggregate regular season record, Tijuana.
