Format

• The Liga MX Femenil season is split into two championships: the Torneo Apertura (opening tournament) and the Torneo Clausura (closing tournament). Each is contested in an identical format and includes the same eighteen teams.^[8]

• The teams were divided into two groups of nine, the best four of each group advancing to the quarterfinals of the Liguilla.^[9]

Changes

• Due to the addition of Lobos BUAP and Puebla, this season consisted of two groups of nine teams, instead of two groups of eight.^[9]
• The Liguilla (playoffs) will now consist of a quarterfinals round, as a result, eight teams (four from each group) will now qualify to the Liguilla.^[9]
• This season will consist of 18 rounds (up from 14).^[8]
• Morelia moved from Group 1 to Group 2.^[8]
• Two teams (one from each group) will rest each round.^[10]

Torneo Apertura

The Apertura 2018 regular season started on 13 July and ended on 19 November.

Notes:

1. The top four teams of each group advance to the quarterfinals of the Liguilla.
2. The UNAM v Cruz Azul match resulted in a 0–1 victory for Cruz Azul, but was later ruled a 3–0 victory for UNAM due to Cruz Azul aligning an assistant manager who was part of the coaching staff of another club (Puebla) this same season.^[11]

Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 8, but then postponed and played between days 11 and 12, it will be added to the standings for day 12.

(C) Champions
Notes:

1. The top four teams of each group advance to the quarterfinals of the Liguilla.
2. The BUAP v Cruz Azul match resulted in a 1–1 draw, but was later ruled a 3–0 victory for BUAP due to Cruz Azul aligning three overage players on the field at the same time. Clubs are allowed to register up to four players older than 24 per match but only two can be on the field at the same time.^[13]

Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 8, but then postponed and played between days 11 and 12, it will be added to the standings for day 12.
