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, the higher seeded team advances. In the final, if the two teams are tied after both legs, the match goes to a penalty shoot-out.

Torneo Clausura

The Torneo Clausura 2025 will be the second tournament of the season. The tournament will begin on January 2026.

Aggregate table 2025–26

The aggregate table (the sum of points of both the Apertura 2025 and Clausura 2026 tournaments) will be used to determine seeds in the Campeón de Campeones and the place of best runner–up for the 2026–27 CONCACAF W Champions Cup.
