The La Liga 2025-26 season is finally here, and Matchday 1 features a five-night feast of football from Friday, August 15th through Tuesday, August 19th. Spanish football fans are in for exciting fixtures, including key matches like FC Barcelona visiting RCD Mallorca and Real Madrid hosting CA Osasuna.
The first game kicks off in Catalonia, with Girona FC hosting Rayo Vallecano at Estadi Montilivi. This is a special match for former Rayo Vallecano coach Míchel, who will hope for a successful start as Girona aims to bounce back after a tough 2024/25 season.

Following that, newly promoted Real Oviedo return to the top tier after 24 years with an opening night visit to Villarreal CF. Veteran Santi Cazorla, a link between these two clubs, will be a player to watch.
Saturday includes three fixtures: newly promoted Levante UD faces Deportivo Alavés; defending champions FC Barcelona play RCD Mallorca, aiming for consecutive titles under Hansi Flick; and Valencia CF clash with Real Sociedad, both targeting a return to European competition.
Sunday offers three more matches: RC Celta host Getafe CF, Athletic Club face Sevilla FC in a tactical battle between Ernesto Valverde and new Sevilla coach Matías Almeyda, and Atlético de Madrid visit RCD Espanyol in a matchup historically ending in draws but vital for Atlético's fast start ambitions.
Monday night features Elche CF returning to the top flight against Real Betis, marking Eder Sarabia's debut as head coach versus veteran Pellegrini's side.
The five-day opener concludes on Tuesday with Real Madrid hosting CA Osasuna. With new coach Xabi Alonso and promising preseason form, Los Blancos will be eager to start their campaign strong.
