Notes:
  1. Pachuca won the Clausura 2007 title and cannot participate because they will be participating in CONCACAF Champions Cup 2008, Morelia has replaced them in the Interliga.
  2. Guadalajara qualifies to the Copa Libertadores 2008 as México 1 because they won the Apertura 2006 title, so San Luis has taken their spot in the Interliga.
