Nacional, Millonarios, and Junior are structuring their squads for Liga BetPlay 2026-2, the tournament set to begin in the second half of next year. The three most traditional clubs in Colombian football are already working on their market strategies to compete for the title in a season that promises to be intense.
What happened
The Bogotá and Barranquilla-based teams are in the planning phase to strengthen their rosters. Each is evaluating its specific needs in defense, midfield, and attack, seeking to maintain competitiveness in an increasingly demanding league. The boards have already begun conversations with potential signings and are also defining which players will continue in their projects.
Why it matters
Squad composition in Colombian football defines competition throughout an entire semester. Nacional, Millonarios, and Junior are historical powerhouses that command significant budgets and fan expectations. Their market decisions influence the overall level of Liga BetPlay and generate ripple effects among other clubs. Additionally, these three teams have been protagonists in international tournaments, so their reinforcements also impact Colombia's representation in continental competitions.
Key fact
- Liga BetPlay 2026-2 will be the first tournament of the second half of next year
- Nacional, Millonarios, and Junior concentrate the majority of economic resources in Colombian professional football
- The transfer market in Colombia moves mainly between January and February to prepare for semester tournaments
What comes next
In the coming months, the boards of these three clubs will define their commercial and sporting strategies. Their first signings are expected to be announced between January and February 2026, when the transfer market traditionally activates in Colombia. Meanwhile, they will continue evaluating the performance of their current players in the 2025 Clausura tournament and other international commitments.
Factor Partido's take
The early preparation by Nacional, Millonarios, and Junior reflects the growing professionalization of Colombian football. It's no longer enough to assemble teams on the fly; big clubs now plan months in advance. This trend raises the competitive level but also puts pressure on mid-tier teams that have fewer resources to react quickly in the market.
