Draw
The draw for the tournament took place on 22 December 2017.[4] 27 teams were drawn into nine groups of three, with each group containing one team from each of the three pots.[4]
Clubs in Pot 1 were drawn to be the seed of each group according to the order of their drawing. That is, the first club that was drawn is seed of Group 1, the second drawn is seed of Group 2 and so on and so on.[4] The Liga MX teams in Pot 1 are the four best teams in the Apertura 2017 classification table not participating in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League as well as the defending champion.[4] Due to the defending champion Monterrey already being one the four best teams in the Apertura 2017 classification table, León, who was the fifth best placed team in the table, was also drawn into Pot 1.[4] Pot 1 also contained the top three Ascenso MX teams in the Apertura 2017 classification table [4]
Pot 2 contains the next four best Liga MX clubs in the Apertura 2017 classification table not participating in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League. Pot 2 also contains the Ascenso MX clubs who ended 5–9 in the Apertura 2017 classification table.[4]
Pot 3 contains the next five best Liga MX clubs in the Apertura 2017 classification table not participating in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League. Pot 3 also contains the Ascenso MX clubs who ended 10–13 in the Apertura 2017 classification table.[4]
