When is the LaLiga 2023/24 season schedule released?

Much of the global attention when the Spanish domestic league fixtures are announced goes to the two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

This process generates an impressive number of 99,999 calendar permutations, among which one is selected through a draw.

The premier division of LaLiga, which will adopt a new official name on 3 July due to a change in title sponsorship, consists of 38 matchdays and a total of 380 matches.
