Format
  • The Liga MX Femenil season is split into two championships: the Torneo Grita México 2021 (opening tournament) and the Torneo Clausura 2022 (closing tournament). Each is contested in an identical format and includes the same eighteen teams. [10]
  • Since 2019–20 season the teams compete in a single group, the best eight of the general table are classified to the championship playoffs.[11]

Torneo Apertura

The 2021 Torneo Apertura, officially named Torneo Grita México, is the first tournament of the season. The tournament was renamed Torneo Grita México 2021 with the intention of fighting homophobia derived from a scream used by fans.[12] The tournament began on 16 July 2021.

    Liguilla

    The eight best teams play two games against each other on a home-and-away basis. The higher seeded teams play on their home field during the second leg. The winner of each match up is determined by aggregate score. In the quarterfinals and semifinals, if the two teams are tied on aggregate and on away goals, the higher seeded team advances.[13] In the final, if the two teams are tied after both legs, the match goes to extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shoot-out.
