Editing Playoffs (section)

=== Mexico ===
Mexico's top flight league, [[Liga MX]], is contested annually by 18 teams.  In each of [[Apertura and Clausura|two annual tournaments]], every team plays every other team in the league once (17 games), after which the top eight teams advance to the ''Liguilla''.

In the Liguilla, all rounds are home-and-away.  Teams are drawn so the best team plays the worst, the second-best plays the second-worst, and so on.  After one round, the teams are redrawn so the best remaining team again plays the worst remaining one and the second-best faces the second-worst in the semi-finals.  The two winners of this round play each other for the championship.

There is no playoff between the Apertura and Clausura winner.  As a result, the league crowns two champions each year.  After each Clausura, the team with the lowest points-per-game total for the previous six tournaments (three years, counting only Liga MX games) is relegated to [[Ascenso MX]] to be replaced by that league's champion (if eligible).
