Apertura Liguilla (Playoffs)

The six best teams after the first place play two games against each other on a home-and-away basis. The winner of each match up is determined by aggregate score. If the teams were tied, the Away goals rule appliesd.

The teams were seeded one to seven in quarterfinals, and were re-seeded one to four in semifinals, depending on their position in the general table. The higher seeded teams played on their home field during the second leg.

If the two teams were tied after both legs, the away goals rule applied. If both teams were still tied, higher seeded team would have advanced.^[3]
Teams were re-seeded every round.
The winner qualified to the playoff match vs the Clausura 2013 winner. However, if the winner had been the same in both tournaments, they would have been promoted to the 2012–13 Mexican Primera División without playing the Promotional Final
