This will be the last time that the playoff round, the repechage, will be played - it will be removed under a series of format changes that will come into force starting from the next tournament (Apertura 2023). The dates and kick-off times for the four playoff matches were due to be announced on Monday but due to a delay, the schedule is expected to be revealed on Tuesday morning, local time.
