The 2026 Liga Femenina, also known as Liga Femenina Apuesta Total 2026 for sponsorship reasons,[1] is the 28th season of the Peruvian Primera División Femenina, the highest level of Peruvian women's football.
On February 27, the fixture draw for the 2026 Liga Femenina took place. For this season, the organizers decided to divide the championship into three clearly defined stages: an Apertura Tournament and a Clausura Tournament, both played under the traditional round-robin format over 11 matchdays each, followed by the final stage of the competition.[2][3]
Alianza Lima are the defending champions, having won two titles in a row in 2024 and 2025.[4][5]
Teams
A total of 12 teams played in the 2026 Liga Femenina season, the top 10 teams that played in the previous 2025 season, plus the 2025 Liga de Ascenso Femenina champions Deportivo Yanapuma and the 2025 Liga de Ascenso Femenina runner-up Atlético Andahuaylas.
On 10 Match 2026 it was announced that Biavo decided to withdraw from the tournament, reducing the teams to 11.[6]
