La Liga, the top division of Spanish football, is set to begin on August 15, 2026. The defending champion, Barcelona, will seek to revalidate its title over 38 matches. Three teams, Málaga, Racing de Santander, and Deportivo A Coruña, have been promoted to La Liga. The top seven teams in the league will qualify for European competitions, while the bottom three teams will be relegated to Segunda División.

Eighteen Argentine players will compete in La Liga, divided among ten teams. These players include Nicolás Valentini, Facundo Garcés, and Lucas Boyé from Alavés, as well as Juan Foyth from Villarreal. Other notable Argentine players include Julián Álvarez from Atlético de Madrid, who is currently uncertain about his future at the club.

Diego Simeone, a former Atlético de Madrid player, and Martín Anselmi, the coach of Elche, are the two Argentine coaches in La Liga. A new ball connected to VAR technology will be used in the tournament, marking a significant innovation in the league. The first matchday will take place on August 15, 2026, with Alavés facing Getafe at 14:30.
