Full fixtures for the opening round of the 2025/26 season:
The kick-off of the first game of the new season between Girona and Rayo Vallecano is scheduled for Fri 15th August.
Real Madrid's game against Ossasuna will take place slightly later, on Tue 19th, but there's seems to be some controversy with that game. Apparently Real and Atletico had an agreement with the Association of Spanish Footballers that, should any of them reach the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Club, their opening La Liga games would be postponed to later terms. But, despite Real reaching the semi-final, La Liga president, Javier Tebas has stated that Real's request to postpone the game was officially rejected.

6 days for the first round... I don't like such rounds even though they are convenient for betting. Easy start for the favorites so the bet on Real + Barcelona victory seems obvious, I haven't checked the odds yet but in total it should be at least +50% which is not bad. The bet on Atletico is in great question until they play a couple of rounds. In recent seasons, Simeone's team has begun to resemble Dortmund
