Format

The Liga MX Femenil season is split into two championships: the Torneo Guardianes 2020 (opening tournament) and the Torneo Guardianes 2021 (closing tournament). Each is contested in an identical format and includes the same eighteen teams.^[9]

Since 2019–20 season the teams compete in a single group, the best eight of the general table qualify to the championship playoffs.^[10]

Changes

This season witnessed the debut of Mazatlán F.C., the team that replaced Monarcas Morelia after the franchise's relocation to Mazatlán, Sinaloa.^[11]^[12]
During the hiatus caused by the pandemic, the league saw five coaching changes. Carla Rossi left Tijuana to coach for Querétaro. Frankie Oviedo replaced her as head coach of the Xolas. Édgar Mejía now heads the Chivas, while Rigoberto Esparza leads Atlético San Luis. Miguel Javid Hernández is Mazatlán's inaugural coach.

Torneo Guardianes 2020

The 2020 Torneo Guardianes is the first tournament of the season. The tournament was renamed Torneo Guardianes 2020 (stylized as Guard1anes) in honor of the job healthcare workers have done during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. The tournament began on 13 August 2020.

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.

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.
