So far, the Liga MX Femenil allows teams to enter up to four foreign players.

One year later (opening 2022), the owners’ meeting and league organizers chose to extend the quota to four foreign players per club. This resource was put to good use by several teams and they filled all their available positions quickly.
After five tournaments since the license to sign foreign footballers was established, only Chivas has kept its roster with Mexican players because of the tradition of the rojiblancos since its foundation in 1906.
