The 2026 Liga 3 (known as the Liga 3 Joma 2026 for sponsorship reasons) will be the 2nd edition of the third tier of Federación Peruana de Futbol.

Teams

In January 2026, the club administrator, Ángel Gustavo Medina Arias, confirmed that for the current season, Sporting Company of Arequipa will take over the full management of Real San Antonio of Moquegua, the team set to compete in Liga 3.[1]

In February 2026, Alto Rendimiento agreed to merge with Club Corazón de León of Cusco, which in 2022 earned promotion to the Liga Distrital del Cusco of the Copa Perú. One of the first decisions resulting from this merger is that the newly rebranded “Corazón de León – Alto Rendimiento” will no longer play in Madre de Dios and will instead host its home matches in the city of Cusco.[2]

On 10 March 2026, it was announced that Defensor José María Arguedas decided to withdraw from the tournament due to the lack of commitment and appreciation shown by some players toward the human, financial, and institutional efforts made by the club’s management.[3]
