TIEBREAKERS

The first tiebreaker is the head-to-head regular season series, followed by goal differential in that series. The third tiebreaker is the result of a playoff series (if applicable), followed by results from potential CONCACAF Champions League and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup encounters. If all of these tiebreakers come out even, the holder retains El Capitán.
