The competition has reached a cumulative audience of 7.5 million viewers, representing an 11.2% increase compared to the previous season.
This growth coincides with the implementation of the new audiovisual model promoted by LigaF, which incorporated the free-to-air broadcast of matches during the second half of the campaign with the aim of expanding the competition's reach, facilitating access for new audiences, and reinforcing the visibility of professional women's football.
The evolution in audience figures confirms the growing interest in the competition and strengthens the value of LigaF for clubs, broadcasters, sponsors, and institutions, consolidating an increasingly attractive product within the national sporting landscape.

The fixture recorded an average audience of 685,335 viewers and reached 2,090,354 unique users across its simulcast broadcasts on Teledeporte, TV3, DAZN, and Movistar.
These figures represent a 27% increase compared to the same fixture from the previous season and highlight the impact of the new audiovisual model, whose commitment to free-to-air broadcasting has allowed the competition's reach to expand and brought women's football closer to a larger number of fans.
LigaF continues to boost its digital community
The growth of the competition has also been reflected in its digital channels. The official LigaF profiles now exceed 1,140,000 followers across all social media platforms.
During the season, 282.7 million impressions and 181.4 million views of original content were achieved, significantly improving upon the 117 million recorded in the previous campaign.

The LigaF website doubles its users
The LigaF website continues to establish itself as one of the main reference points for information on women's football, offering live coverage of all matches, audiovisual content, sporting and institutional news, statistics, and all information relating to clubs and players.
During the 2025/2026 season, the website recorded more than 3.7 million page views, 24.7% more than the previous year, while the number of unique users almost doubled, with a growth of 98.5%, reaching 486,000 unique users.
