The 2024 Colombian Women's Football League (officially known as the Liga Femenina BetPlay DIMAYOR 2024 for sponsorship purposes) is the eighth season of Colombia's women's football league. The season began on 16 February and will end on 16 August 2024. ^[1]

Santa Fe are the defending champions.

Format

For this season the competition is played in three stages, with a similar structure to the men's league Categoría Primera A and introducing the semi-final groups (cuadrangulares) for the first time in the women's competition. ^[1] In the first stage, the 15 participating teams played a single round-robin tournament with all teams playing each other once and having a bye day, for a total of 14 matches for each team and 15 rounds in the first stage. The top eight teams advanced to the semi-finals in which they were drawn into two groups of four teams, with each team playing the others in their group twice. The winners of each semi-final group will then play a double-legged final series to decide the league champions. The champions and runners-up will qualify for the Copa Libertadores Femenina. ^[2]

Teams

15 DIMAYOR affiliate clubs took part in the competition with their women's teams, 12 of which participated in the previous season. Atlético Bucaramanga, Atlético Huila, and Boyacá Chicó did not enter this edition of the tournament, whilst Cortuluá was replaced by its successor club Internacional and Deportes Tolima joined an alliance with Real Santander for this season. ^[3] Cúcuta Deportivo returned to the competition after five years, having competed for the last time in 2019, ^[4] and Alianza took part for the first time, having its women's team based in Yumbo, Valle del Cauca Department for this season. ^[5] Once Caldas, which had expressed interest in participating, ultimately declined to compete due to financial reasons. ^[6]
