The calendar is (more or less) in place. The final list of teams is (more or less) in place. Though the kickoff is weeks away, it's time for La Liga to get a new season thread.
Just to get things rolling this first post is basically about the schedule, but there's already a fair bit going on the transfer front. 5 Liga teams in the CL this year of course, assuming Valencia get through their play-off, which has affected some of the match scheduling.
The Liga1 schedule includes Eibar who finished 18th, but who survive because Elche have been relegated for failing to meet the repayment schedule on their debts - that may go back to court but the decision is unlikely to change.
La Liga opens on the weekend of the 22/23 August with
Athletic V Barcelona
Málaga V Sevilla
Rayo V Valencia
Levante V Celta
Espanyol V Getafe
Deportivo V R. Sociedad
Granada V Eibar
Betis V Villarreal
Sporting V R. Madrid
Atlético V Las Palmas
It ends on May 14/15 with what looks like a contenders Vs minnows schedule
Valencia V R. Sociedad
Deportivo V R. Madrid
Sporting V Villarreal
Betis V Getafe
Espanyol V Eibar
Athletic V Sevilla
Málaga V Las Palmas
Granada V Barcelona
Atlético V Celta
Rayo V Levante
In between times we get clasicos on 7/8 November (Bernabeu) and 2/3 April (Camp Nou). Madrid derbies on the 3/4 October and 27/28 February.
