The Torneo Grita México Clausura 2022 (stylized as Grita... México C22) Liga MX final phase[1] was played between 7 May and 29 May 2022.[2] A total of twelve teams competed in the final phase to decide the champions of the Clausura 2022 Liga MX season. For the fourth straight season, an additional qualifying round, the reclassification or repechaje, was employed, which expanded the number of playoff spots to 12.[3]

Both finalists qualified to the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League.

Atlas defeated Pachuca 3–2 on aggregate to win their second straight title and third overall. As winners of both the Apertura 2021 and Clausura 2022 seasons, Atlas were automatically awarded the 2022 Campeón de Campeones.

Format

Reclassification

  • All rounds were played in a single game hosted by the higher seed
  • If a game ended in a draw, it proceeded directly to a penalty shoot-out.

Liguilla

  • Teams were re-seeded each round.
  • The winners of the Reclassification matches were seeded based on their ranking in the classification table.
  • Team with more goals on aggregate after two matches advanced.
  • No away goals rule is applied in neither round; if the two teams were tied on aggregate, the higher-seeded team advanced.
  • In the final, if the two teams were tied after both legs, the match would go to extra time and, if necessary, a shoot-out.
  • Both finalists qualified to the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League.
