As is customary in LaLiga, the league schedule pairs the four Supercopa de España contenders in matchday 19, set to take place the weekend of January 11th. The Supercopa tournament itself will be held between January 7th and 11th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
These four Supercopa teams are also exempt from the first two rounds of the Copa del Rey, entering directly into the round of 16. This allows them to play their matchday 19 fixtures in early December, coinciding with the second round of the Copa del Rey, which features teams from Spain’s second and first divisions.
