Top-flight Spanish football is back - here's how to watch the likes of Yamal, Alexander-Arnold and Mbappé in action.

Real Madrid got their 2025-26 La Liga campaign off to a winning start, beating Osasuna 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Kylian Mbappe scored from the spot early in the second half to give Xabi Alonso's side all three points.

Real Madrid fans have spotted a major problem between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kylian Mbappe during their game against Osasuna. Alexander-Arnold, who joined from Liverpool for £10 million, made his La Liga debut for Real against Osasuna, having appeared for his new team earlier this summer in the Club World Cup.

The 2025-26 La Liga season is here, as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are fighting to retake the division crown from Barcelona.

Tebas and Madrid president Florentino Pérez have been engaged in a spiky public back-and-forth for years. Just earlier this summer, La Liga refused to grant Real Madrid an extended period of recovery before the 2025–26 campaign despite advancing to the semifinals of this summer’s Club World Cup.

Marcus Rashford and Joan Garcia have been registered in time to feature in Barcelona’s first La Liga game of the season against Mallorca on Saturday. Rashford signed on loan with an option to buy from Manchester United last month but faced a problem that has hampered Barcelona in recent seasons.

Rodrygo Goes has been the subject of various rumors and links this summer as his future at Real Madrid has been unclear since the end of last season. The man linked with Manchester City recently, was benched for the 7th straight game for Madrid and this time Xabi Alonso didn't even look his way as he got zero minutes on the night.
