La Liga’s 2025-26 season promises high drama, fierce rivalries, and a fresh narrative as the official fixture list is out. Defending champions FC Barcelona, under the meticulous guidance of Hansi Flick, will begin their title defense amid renewed challenges from a rejuvenated Real Madrid, now managed by club legend Xabi Alonso. As always, eyes are already locked on the season’s marquee event — El Clasico — which is slated for October 27 at the Santiago Bernabéu.

With several managerial changes, star-studded transfers, and the return of historic clubs to the top flight, La Liga 2025-26 is brimming with intrigue. Here’s everything you need to know.

Barcelona kick things off away to Mallorca while Madrid welcome Osasuna — provided their Club World Cup journey ends early. Atlético face a stern test against newly promoted Espanyol, and Santi Cazorla’s Real Oviedo return to the top flight with an emotional clash at Villarreal.

Barcelona’s Grand Return to Camp Nou

The Camp Nou, undergoing redevelopment for two years, will finally reopen — partially — for competitive football. Barcelona’s first home fixture at their spiritual fortress comes on September 13/14 against Valencia. The stadium will initially operate at a 60,000-seat capacity, and for many players, including young sensation Lamine Yamal and newcomers like Joan García, it’ll be their first experience playing at the iconic venue.

La liga

Barça’s first three matches are all on the road (Mallorca, Levante, Rayo Vallecano), giving them time to gel under Flick, who steered them to a domestic treble last season — La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Spanish Supercopa.

Alonso’s Real Madrid Reboot Begins

Real Madrid’s new chapter under Xabi Alonso will be watched closely. After his successful stint at Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso is expected to bring a tactical shake-up, including a probable three-at-the-back system. New recruits Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen are already on board, and more are expected.

Superstars Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior will lead the line in the absence of Jude Bellingham, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.

Atlético Madrid: Early Tests for Simeone’s Rebuild

Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid, La Liga champions in 2021, will face tough early tests. They travel to Espanyol, host Villarreal, and face Real Madrid in the first Madrid Derby on September 27/28 — a tactical duel between Alonso and Simeone that’s sure to draw eyes.

La liga

With limited transfer activity so far (only Matteo Ruggeri and a permanent move for Clément Lenglet), Atlético are banking on more summer signings. Deals for Álex Baena and Johnny Cardoso are done.

The Other Contenders and Newcomers

  • Athletic Club and Villarreal return to Champions League football, testing their squad depth.
  • Real Sociedad and Sevilla, under new coaches Sergio Francisco and Matías Almeyda, respectively, aim to rebound from forgettable seasons.
  • Girona look to regroup after crashing last term post a historic 2023-24.
  • Real Oviedo, back in the top flight after 24 years, face Real Madrid early in what’s dubbed the Santi Cazorla derby.
