The team that finishes last on the table will start the following season with a coefficient of zero. If the last ranked team, which was Tijuana, repeats as the last ranked team in the 2024–25 season coefficient table, they will be fined an additional $MXN20 million. Rules for fine payment: 1) Fine coefficient; 2) Goal difference; 3) Number of goals scored; 4) Head-to-head results between tied teams; 5) Number of goals scored away; 6) Fair Play points F = Team will have to pay fine indicated Source: Liga MX ==Aggregate tables==
