The first stage is in round-robin format, with each team playing the other teams once for a total of 19 matches. The top eight teams then advance to a knockout round consisting of two groups, each team playing six times in a round-robin format. The two leaders of each group go to the final, which is played in a home and away leg system. The winner of the final is the champion. At the end of the Finalizacion tournament, a supercup is played between the winner of the Apertura tournament and the Finalizacion tournament. The winner of the supercup would be the grand champion.
