The final was contested in a single leg format between Liga MX club Veraruz and Necaxa of Ascenso MX. The match was hosted by Veracruz at Estadio Luis "Pirata" Fuente in Veracruz, Veracruz on 13 April 2016. As winners, Veracruz earned a spot to face Guadalajara (the winners of the Apertura edition) in the 2016 Supercopa MX to qualify as Mexico 3 to the 2017 Copa Libertadores. [1]
