Promotion Final

[edit]

The Promotion Final is a two-legged playoff between the winners of the Apertura and Clausura tournaments to determine which team will be promoted to Liga MX. The Apertura 2016 champion was Sinaloa and the Clausura 2017 champion was BUAP. Since Sinaloa are higher ranked on the aggregate table for the 2016-17 season than BUAP, they will play the second leg at home.

All times are UTC−6.
