The 2026 Colombian Women's Football League (officially known as the Liga Femenina BetPlay DIMAYOR 2026 for sponsorship purposes) is the tenth season of Colombia's women's football league. The season began on 12 February and is scheduled to end in September 2026.[1][2]

Deportivo Cali are the defending champions, having won the previous edition of the competition.[3]

Format

For this season the competition kept the format used in 2025, with four stages to be played. The first stage will be a single round-robin tournament in which the 16 participating teams will play each other once as well as an additional match against their derby rival for a total of 16 rounds. For the second stage, the top eight teams at the end of the first stage will be drawn into two groups of four teams in which the top two teams from the first stage will be seeded, and each team will play the others in their group twice. The top two teams of each group will advance to the semi-finals, which will be played over two legs with the group winners facing the runners-up from the other group. Both semi-final winners will play the final series to decide the league champions and will also qualify for the 2026 Copa Libertadores Femenina.[4][5]

Teams

The competition is played by 16 DIMAYOR affiliate clubs who entered their women's teams, 14 of which participated in the previous season. While Llaneros returned after a one-season hiatus,[6] Alianza and La Equidad did not enter this edition of the tournament, the latter being replaced by Internacional de Bogotá after its takeover by the Tylis–Porter Group in early 2025.[7][8]
