The Liguilla (English: Little League) of the 2011–12 Liga de Ascenso season is a final knockout tournament involving seven teams of the Liga de Ascenso. The winner will qualify to the playoff match vs the Clausura 2011 winner. However, if the winner of both tournaments is the same team, the team would be promoted to the 2012–13 Mexican Primera División season without playing the Promotional Final.

Bracket[]

The six best teams after the first place play two games against each other on a home-and-away basis. The winner of each match up is determined by aggregate score.

The teams were seeded one to seven in quarterfinals, and will be re-seeded one to four in semifinals, depending on their position in the general table. The higher seeded teams play on their home field during the second leg.
