The Liga MX Femenil, officially known as the Liga BBVA MX Femenil for sponsorship reasons, is the highest division of women's football in Mexico. Supervised by the Mexican Football Federation, this professional league has 18 teams, each coinciding with a Liga MX club.[1]
Following the same schedule as the men's league, each season consist of two tournaments: an Apertura tournament, which takes place from July to December, and a Clausura tournament, which takes place from January to May.
The league's first official domestic cup competition took place in May 2017 via the Copa MX Femenil, a now discontinued tournament that was created with the objective of preparing the teams for the inaugural season of the league which began in July 2017.[2] Former Liga MX President, Enrique Bonilla, stated that the league was created in order to nurture the stars of the Mexico women's national football team and to build an infrastructure for women's football in Mexico.[3]
Tigres UANL has won the league a record six times, followed by C.F. Monterrey with three titles, and C.D. Guadalajara and Club América with two titles each. In all, only these four clubs have won the Liga MX Femenil trophy.[4]
The current champions are C.F. Monterrey who defeated Club América with a 2–2 aggregate score (4-3 in penalties shootout) in the Clausura 2024 final in May 2024.[5]
