The eliminated teams will be announced as the end of the regular Clausura 2023 tournament approaches.
The Clausura 2023 season reaches its conclusion with the Liguilla taking center stage, revealing the teams that will chase the championship after the Apertura 2022 title opened the door for big stories. This season introduces a new format where a total of twelve squads advance to the final phase while six teams bow out and watch from the sidelines. The shift in structure means a longer sprint to glory and a tighter race for those at the top of the table.
Historically, the tipping point has often been around the twelfth place in the standings, where the typical points threshold hovers near 20 points, roughly 35 percent efficiency. Yet, those who survive the reclassification stage seldom end up champion. The path to glory remains narrow and fiercely contested, with every match carrying significant weight as the league moves toward its climactic stages.

The goal is to provide a clear view of each team’s chances as the season unfolds, helping fans understand who could lift the trophy at the end of the tournament and how the bracket might evolve from round to round.
