The Copa MX Apertura 2013 was the 70th staging of the Copa MX, the 43rd staging in the professional era and is the third tournament played since the 1996–97 edition.
This tournament started on July 23, 2013 and will conclude on November 5, 2013. The winner will face the winner of the Clausura 2014 edition in a playoff to qualify as Mexico 3 to the 2015 Copa Libertadores.
Morelia won their first title after defeating Atlas 3–1 on penalty kicks.
This tournament will feature all the clubs from the Liga MX, excluding those that will participate in the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League (Tijuana, Toluca, América and Cruz Azul), and all the teams from the Ascenso MX, excluding the team promoted from Segunda División (Ballenas Galeana).
If two or more clubs are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:
Every group is composed by four clubs, two from Liga MX and two from Ascenso MX. Instead of a traditional robin-round schedule, the clubs will play in three two-legged "rounds", the last one being contested by clubs of the same league.
Each win gives a club 3 points, each draw gives 1 point. An extra point is awarded for every round won; a round is won by aggregated score, and if it is a tie, the extra point will be awarded to the team with higher number of goals scored away.
All times are UTC-05:00
