Liga Mx Women2026/2027 — Standings, Fixtures & Top Scorers

Liga MX Femenil is the top-tier professional women's football league in Mexico (la liga femenil de México) and the most-watched women's football competition in Latin America. Officially known as Liga BBVA MX Femenil for sponsorship reasons, the league was launched in 2017 by the Liga MX governing body to develop women's football in Mexico and provide a professional pathway for female players. In fewer than ten years, Liga MX Femenil has grown into one of the biggest women's football leagues in the world by viewership and social media following.

The league operates on a unique dual-season format mirroring the men's Liga MX: the Apertura (torneo de apertura, July to December) and the Clausura (torneo de clausura, January to June). Each season features 18 teams — the same clubs that compete in the men's Liga MX — playing a 17-match regular season followed by the liguilla, a knockout playoff bracket with quarterfinals, semifinals, and a two-leg final. This format means Liga MX Femenil produces two champions per calendar year.

Tigres UANL Femenil are the most successful club in Liga MX Femenil history with seven titles (Clausura 2018, Clausura 2019, Guardianes 2020, Guardianes 2021, Apertura 2022, Apertura 2023, Apertura 2025). Monterrey Femenil (Rayadas) have won four titles, Chivas (Guadalajara) Femenil and Club América Femenil two each, and Pachuca Femenil claimed their first championship in Clausura 2025. Only five clubs have won the Liga MX Femenil.

Liga MX Femenil matches are broadcast on TUDN, TV Azteca, Fox Sports Mexico, and the ViX streaming platform, providing extensive television coverage across Mexico and the United States. The league's media visibility has grown rapidly, with Tigres vs. América and Tigres vs. Monterrey (Clásico Regiomontano Femenil) regularly drawing large television audiences. Alicia Cervantes holds the all-time Liga MX Femenil scoring record with 176 goals.

All 18 Liga MX Femenil teams share facilities, branding, and infrastructure with their men's Liga MX counterparts, giving the women's league access to world-class training grounds and stadiums across Mexico including Estadio Universitario (Tigres), Estadio Azteca (América/Cruz Azul), Estadio BBVA (Monterrey), and Estadio Akron (Chivas).

Each of the 18 teams plays 17 regular-season matches per tournament (jornadas).

The top eight teams in the Liga MX Femenil tabla general (general standings) at the end of the regular season qualify for the liguilla — a knockout playoff bracket featuring two-leg quarterfinals, two-leg semifinals, and a two-leg final. This format mirrors the men's Liga MX and creates intense playoff football that draws large crowds and high television ratings.

The league was founded with strict development rules requiring each team to field a minimum number of players under 23 and born in Mexico. These rules were instrumental in rapidly building a deep domestic talent pool.
