The 2026 Liga Femenina, also known as Liga Femenina Apuesta Total 2026 for sponsorship reasons,[1] will be the 28th season of the Peruvian Primera División Femenina, the highest level of Peruvian women's football.[2]
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.[3][4][5]
Alianza Lima are the defending champions, having won two titles in a row in 2024 and 2025.[6][7]
