To provide an engaging filament nonwoven fabric on whose surface the fibers are not fuzzed, when released from a hook-like engaging member, whose fibers are not blocked in the hooks and not continuously peeled off, and which has loops not deteriorating their engaging forces, even when repeatedly engaged with the hook-like engaging member.

This engaging filament nonwoven fabric whose front and back sides are integrated with discontinuous partial hot-pressed portions scattered on the surface is characterized by disposing the substantially continuous waved hot-pressed portions in parallel so as to cross the preferential fiber arrangement direction of the surface layer at a constant distance and divide the direction of the hot-pressed lines, thereby dividing the fiber-fixed ranges of non-hot pressed portions and forming loops whose both ends are fixed to the non-hot pressed portions.
