The Apertura 2017 Copa MX (officially the Apertura 2017 Copa Corona MX for sponsorship reasons) was the 78th staging of the Copa MX, the 50th staging in the professional era and is the eleventh tournament played since the 1996–97 edition.

This tournament began on 25 July 2017 and was originally scheduled to end on 1 November 2017.[1] Due to the 2017 Puebla earthquake, the tournament was postponed in the Round of 16 phase, pushing the end of the tournament to 21 December 2017.[2][3]

The final was held at Estadio BBVA Bancomer in the Monterrey suburb of Guadalupe with the home team Monterrey defeating Pachuca 1–0 to win their second title.

As winners, Monterrey earned a spot to face the winners of the Clausura 2018 edition, in the 2018 Supercopa MX.
