Liga F

What Liga F does

Liga F (Liga Profesional de Fútbol Femenino) is a Spanish professional sports association founded in 2022 that operates the top-tier professional women's football league in Spain, constituted under Spanish sports law (Ley 10/1990, NIF G-10799450). It governs a league of 16 member clubs including FC Barcelona, Real Madrid CF, Atlético de Madrid, Athletic Club, Real Sociedad, and Sevilla FC, providing the competitive structure, professional standards, and commercial framework for elite women's football. The league evolved from the former Primera División Femenina de Fútbol and has experienced approximately 90% growth in football licenses since professionalization, reaching 127,242 licenses in 2025/2026.

The organization's core product portfolio centers on Liga F Moeve (the primary league competition), supported by the Copa de la Reina (knockout cup), Supercopa de España Femenina (super cup), and Liga Futura Moeve (under-12 youth development tournament). The underlying technology is a digital content and engagement platform operated through ligaf.es and native mobile applications on iOS and Android, providing match schedules, standings, statistics, team profiles, video content (Liga F TV), and multilingual interfaces. Distribution is multi-channel: DAZN serves as the primary global paid broadcast partner, RTVE provides free-to-air public broadcasting (La 1, La 2, RTVE Play), regional channels (TV3, TVG, Canal Sur, Telemadrid, TV Canarias) deliver territorial coverage, and the official YouTube channel and mobile apps provide direct-to-consumer access worldwide.

Liga F's business model is based on broadcasting rights, title and category sponsorships, and commercial partnerships. Moeve holds title sponsorship (hence "Liga F Moeve"), with additional partners including Volkswagen, Puma (official ball supplier), EA Sports (video game integration), GSK, Mahou, Solán de Cabras, and Panini (collectibles). In June 2026, the league received a €55 million investment from Gasol16 Ventures (Pau Gasol's fund) and Fortified Partners — the largest private investment ever in a women's football league — approved by a two-thirds General Assembly majority to fund growth, professionalization, and international expansion. The league is led by President Beatriz Álvarez and operates from its headquarters at Calle Fortuny 6, 28010 Madrid.
