La Liga unveil Real Madrid fixtures of 2026-27 season as El Clasico dates revealed

La Liga unveil Real Madrid fixtures of 2026-27 season as El Clasico dates revealed On Tuesday, La Liga announced the complete fixture list for the 2026-27 season, with Real Madrid now knowing who they will play across the 38 matchdays. After two years without winning the title, there is a strong desire to return it to the Bernabeu next May, and with Jose Mourinho now at the helm, their chances are good. Real Madrid will start the season on the weekend of the 16th of August with a home match against Copa del Rey holders Real Sociedad, with their first away fixture the following weekend at Elche. Newly-promoted side Malaga then travel to the Bernabeu before they round off their first set of five matches with matches against Real Betis (away) and Rayo Vallecano (home). Fans will eagerly anticipate the first El Clasico fixture of the season, which takes place on MD10 – the weekend of the 25th of October – at the Spotify Camp Nou, with the return match being at the Bernabeu on MD35 in May. As for city rivals Atletico Madrid, Mourinho’s side will travel to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on MD7 before welcoming Diego Simeone’s men to Catalonia on MD30, scheduled for early April. Can Mourinho lead Real Madrid to the La Liga title? Real Madrid are certainly in a better way to win the La Liga title than they were a few weeks ago. The arrival of Mourinho, coupled with Ibrahima Konate, Denzel Dumfries, Marc Cucurella and Bernardo Silva being signed, has injected fresh optimism into the Bernabeu, and that could increase further with more new signings. Real Madrid are currently working on plans to sign a new central defender and midfielder, and if they were to tempt Michael Olise away from Bayern Munich with a record-breaking offer , they would surely be favourites to conquer Barcelona and Atleti in the race to win the 2026-27 La Liga title.
