Competition format The tournament consists of five stages (Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semifinals and Final).
The matches are played in a single round in the field of the club participating in the TDP League, in case the two clubs play in the same league, the match will be played in the field of the best ranked club. If there is a tie at the end of regular time, a round of penalty kicks will be played to determine the winners.
Geographic location is the criteria for matches. The affiliated clubs of Liga MX and Liga de Expansión MX can participate in the cup but only with the players who were registered in the squads for Liga Premier and TDP.
