Liga MX Femenil set for a format change | OneFootball

América Femenil will be looking to win its first back-to-back Liga MX Femenil title in the upcoming Apertura 2026.

Las Águilas had a spectacular first part of the season with a historic double, as they became the first team in Liga MX Femenil to achieve it.

Now they are aiming to win the first back-to-back title in their history, and to do so, they will need to overcome a new league format that will be introduced starting with the 2026 Women’s Apertura.

The new Liga MX Femenil format.

The main change the league will have is that starting with this upcoming tournament, it will be divided into two groups of nine teams each; this with the goal of slightly reducing the number of matches played in the tournament.

Matchups will be against all teams within the same group, and there would also be six matches against clubs from the other group; this will be determined once the full season schedule is released.

As for qualification to the next round, the same eight teams would remain, with four from each group advancing to the next stage.

The tournament will begin on July 31, and the full season schedule is expected to be announced at the end of this month.
