The competition for playoff spots continues to grow as the Liga MX Femenil regular season approaches its last weekend. Clubs throughout Mexico are getting ready for their last games before the Liguilla starts after 16 matchdays. The 2025 Apertura campaign has been one of the most competitive yet, with several teams in top form and others battling to stay within the coveted top eight. Every goal, point, and performance in this final round could mean the difference between survival and playoff seeding.

With 41 points from 13 victories, 2 draws, and just one loss, Tigres UANL Femenil is leading the table and setting the standard once again. They are once again the team to beat because of their ability to attack with accuracy and organize their defense. Following a successful campaign driven by one of the league’s most prolific attacks, Pachuca Femenil is still within striking distance of them. After an outstanding run of play, Toluca Femenil has emerged as one of this season’s pleasant surprises, holding fourth place. Club América Femenil follows in third, proving their typical blend of flair and discipline.

The top eight teams will once again advance to the Liguilla in the postseason format, with higher seeds gaining home advantage in the two-leg quarterfinals. Although the top four teams are all but guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, teams like Chivas, Monterrey, and Cruz Azul continue to fight for the remaining spots. The gap between the middle-of-the-table contenders is still extremely narrow, and the final matchday will determine who advances and who does not.

América’s offensive prowess and playoff experience give them an advantage when it counts most, while Tigres and Pachuca arrive with assurance and stability. However, if Toluca’s current rhythm continues into the knockout stages, they have the potential to emerge as a real dark horse. No favorite can afford to minimize their opponent once the elimination stage starts because lower-seeded teams have a history of surprising in the Liguilla.

Tigres UANL Femenil is still the clear favorite to win the Apertura championship again and looks set to finish first. However, considering their attacking skills, Pachuca Femenil appear more than capable of competing against them in a possible final. Toluca and Chivas could upset the bracket, but América should make a strong run. One thing is certain as the regular season draws to a close: the path to the Liga MX Femenil title in 2025 will be just as difficult and uncertain as before.
