The season openers take place on the weekend of August 11-13th, with ESPN once again providing exclusive coverage in English and Spanish for views in the US.

Key games from the first matchday include reigning champions FC Barcelona visiting Getafe, and Real Madrid away to Bilbao.

Europa League winners Sevilla host Valencia, while Granada, Alavés, and far-flung Las Palmas all make their returns to the first division.

Exact dates and times are still to be determined, but expect most games each weekend to be available on ESPN Deportes in addition to every game on ESPN+.

Barça-Atléti matchups are set for the weekends of December 3rd and March 17th. The Madrid Derby, between Real and Atlético, takes place on September 24th and February 4th.

The weekend of May 26th sees the season wrap up with Sevilla-Barça, Sociedad-Atléti, and Real Madrid-Betis amongst the last day of fixtures.

Valencia, twenty years ago, were the last club besides FC Barcelona, Atlético Madrid or Real Madrid to win the title. Can someone finally break through and end the dominance of Barcelona and the capital? We’ll just have to wait and see how the season plays out.
