The most anticipated clash in Spanish football, the El Clasico (featuring Real Madrid and FC Barcelona), will be played twice in La Liga 2023-24― the first fixture will take place on October 29 at Barcelona, while the return leg will be played on April 21, 2024 at Madrid.
La Liga 2023-24 will see Match Day 38, the final match day for the season, take place on May 26, 2024.
Ques: What is the format that La Liga will follow for 2023-24?
Ans: Since 1997-98, a total of 20 teams have contested for the La Liga title, and the 2023-24 season is not going to be any different. The competition is contested in a league format, with teams facing each other twice in a home-and-away system.
As such, each team will play a total of 38 matches in the league in 2023-24. At the end of the league, the team with the most points will finish at the top of the table and emerge victorious.
While the points determine the champions for the season, they also help identify the three lowest-ranked teams in the league.
According to the rules, the three teams finishing at the bottom of La Liga get relegated to La Liga 2 for the following season, while the top three teams from La Liga 2 get promoted to La Liga for the upcoming season.
Furthermore, the top four teams from La Liga will qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. The winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League will also qualify for the subsequent season’s Champions League.
With this in mind, if a scenario arises where six teams (including the winners of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europe League) from La Liga make it to Europe’s most elite club football competition, the fourth-ranked team in La Liga will play in the Europa League instead as only five teams from each nation can play in the Champions League.
