The Clausura 2017 Copa MX (officially the Clausura 2017 Copa Corona MX for sponsorship reasons) is the 77th staging of the Copa MX, the 50th staging in the professional era and is the tenth tournament played since the 1996–97 edition.
This tournament began on 17 January 2017 and will end on 19 April 2017. The winner will face Querétaro, the winner of the Apertura 2016 edition, in the 2017 Supercopa MX.
Querétaro are the defending champions after defeating Guadalajara 3–2 on penalty kicks in the Apertura 2016 final.
This tournament will feature clubs from Liga MX who will not participate in the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League knockout stages (Monterrey). Due to the Mexican clubs withdrawing from the Copa Libertadores, teams who qualified to the 2017 edition (Tijuana, América and Guadalajara) will also participate in the tournament, which made nine groups instead of eight like in the previous edition.
The tournament will also feature the top 12 Ascenso MX teams of the Apertura 2016 classification table.
The draw for the tournament took place on December 14, 2016 at the Mexican Football Federation headquarters in Toluca, Mexico. 27 teams were drawn into nine groups of three, with each group containing one team from each of the three pots.
