The Liguilla (English: Mini League) of the Primera División de México 2010 Bicentenario was a final mini-tournament involving eight teams of the Primera División de México, in an elimination two-legs playoff.
The first leg Final of the Liguilla was on Wednesday May 20, between Santos Laguna against Toluca.
Defending champions Monterrey, were not able to defend their past championship, as they were knocked out in the first round of the "Liguilla" by Pachuca
As the 18 teams of the 2010 Bicentenario were divided in three groups of six teams, it was determined that the two top of each group advanced to the Liguilla, even though having had a low performance at the general table. Alongside those six teams, the two best teams at the general table of the remaining 12, regardless of their group, advanced to the Liguilla.
The Liguilla has a particular tie-breaking criteria: In case of a tie in the aggregate score, the higher seeded team advance.
