Barça debuts in the League in Getafe and ends at Pizjuán

The champion will debut in the League at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, a stadium where Barcelona has not won on its last three visits. Xavi Hernández's team will begin the title defense against Bordalás's team. The last Blaugrana triumph (and the last goals) in the Getafe field dates back to 2019 (0-2). On that first day, Real Madrid will have to travel to San Mamés. Ancelotti's men will face Athletic on August 12 or 13. Girona will also start the League away from home, which will also travel to the Basque Country to face Real Sociedad.

The Lluís Companys stadium will have a great weight in this first round of the championship, since on the second day Barcelona will play its first official match at the Olímpic de Montjuïc. The rival in this premiere of the move will be Cádiz.

Montjuïc will also host the first official classic of the season. It will be on October 29, on matchday 11, when Madrid visits Barcelona. The blaugrana will return their visit to the Santiago Bernabéu on April 21. After the second classic, there will be 18 points at stake. In the last League, the order of the classics was the reverse.

The whites have asked not to play at home until the fourth day due to the works at the Bernabéu. In addition to San Mamés, they will travel on those first three dates to Almería and Vigo. Madrid will make their debut before their fans on matchday four against Getafe and will play away again on matchday six, to play the first Madrid derby at the Metropolitano on September 24.

In the absence of derbies against Espanyol, Barça will have its dose of territorial rivalry against Girona. First, again, in Montjuïc, on December 10 (16th day). Later, in Montilivi, already on May 5 (j. 34.ª)

The League begins with strong emotions and ends in style. Well, on May 26, Barça will visit Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán while Madrid will receive Betis. In San Sebastián Atlético closes and Girona lowers the blind in Montilivi against Granada.
