The tournament champion receives a substantial financial incentive in addition to earning a berth in another competition.
Beyond the pride of lifting the title, the MX league rewards players and clubs with a lucrative prize pot that fuels their finances season after season.
While the exact figure stays private, it is known that the winner secures a prize larger than the MX Cup’s payout. Today, alongside the pass to the Champion of Champions, the champion now also accrues a notable monetary award.
And GOAL explains what the champion wins and which tournament the triumph qualifies them for:
HOW MUCH DOES IT PAY?
As noted earlier, the Cup winner receives 2,100,000 pesos, so the overall prize for the champion is expected to be at least double that amount. The runner-up collects about half of that sum.
AND THE CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS?
It should be recalled that since the 2002-2003 edition, when the competition was reinstated, the league champion gains automatic entry into the scholarship series that pits the opening title holder of 2022 against the closing title holder of 2023. With Pachuca awaiting the champion of the upcoming match, the scenario could set up a clash with Cruz Azul if a title replay occurs, as the latter would be the most recent holder of this trophy.
