The highly anticipated fixture list for the 2025/2026 Spanish La Liga season has been officially released, outlining the full schedule for the upcoming domestic campaign. The new season is set to commence on Friday, 15 August, 2025, and will conclude on Sunday, 24 May, 2026.

Among the most eagerly awaited announcements were the dates for the iconic El Clásico encounters between rival giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. The first La Liga Clásico of the 2025/2026 season is scheduled for the weekend of October 25/26, 2025, and will be hosted at Real Madrid’s home ground, the Santiago Bernabéu. The return leg, equally anticipated, will take place later in the season on the weekend of May 9/10, 2026.

In the previous season, Barcelona showcased a dominant performance in the El Clásico series, securing victories in all four domestic league ties against Real Madrid. This strong showing contributed to the Catalan club's success in clinching both the La Liga title and the Copa del Rey, finishing ahead of their Madrid rivals.

The opening weekend of the La Liga season, Matchday 1, will feature several compelling matchups. Real Madrid is set to host Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu for their inaugural fixture, while last season’s champions, Barcelona, will begin their title defense with an away clash against Mallorca. Other notable Matchday 1 games include Atlético Madrid traveling to face Espanyol, and Athletic Club hosting Sevilla. The full list of Matchday 1 opening fixtures also includes: Alavés vs Levante, Celta de Vigo vs Getafe, Girona vs Rayo Vallecano, and Elche vs Real Betis.
