Liga MX Femenil debuts new format and new image in the Apertura 2026; this is how the tournament will be played

The Liga MX Femenil is set to introduce a new format for the Apertura 2026 season, which includes dividing the 18 participating clubs into two groups of nine teams. This change aims to reduce the number of matches per team, aligning the schedule better with international commitments and improving player management throughout the season. Each team will play 14 matches: eight against teams in their group and six against opponents from the other group. The reform eliminates double rounds and enhances fan engagement, according to Mikel Arriola, president of the Mexican Football Federation and Liga MX. The new structure is expected to create a more balanced competition.
