Barcelona’s Perfect Start
Barcelona have been the most convincing team in Spain so far. They won the title last season, clinching their 29th league crown on May 10, 2026 with a 2-0 win over Real Madrid, and they have carried that form into the new campaign. Their seven league results this season are:
- Elche 0-5 Barcelona
- Barcelona 2-0 Athletic Club
- Barcelona 5-2 Rayo Vallecano
- Valencia 0-5 Barcelona
- Levante 2-4 Barcelona
- Barcelona 7-2 Racing Santander
- Sevilla 1-3 Barcelona
The 7-2 win over Racing Santander at the Camp Nou on September 16 is the highest-scoring match of the league season so far. Barcelona also beat Feyenoord 5-1 in the Champions League on September 9, as covered in our Champions League 2026-27 results and fixtures report.
Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid Chase
Atlético Madrid are second with 16 points from five wins, one draw and one defeat. Real Madrid are fourth with 15 points after five wins and two defeats, and they have scored 18 goals while conceding eight. Madrid finished second in the league last season and went without a trophy, so they will be under pressure to keep closing the gap.
One highlight for Real Madrid was a 4-0 home win over newly promoted Málaga on August 26, in front of 74,799 fans at the Bernabéu, the highest attendance in La Liga this season.
First El Clásico of 2026-27 on October 25
The biggest date in the La Liga calendar is the first El Clásico of the season. Barcelona host Real Madrid at the Camp Nou on Sunday, October 25, 2026, on Matchday 10. The kick-off time has not been announced yet.
The two sides last met on May 10, 2026, when goals from Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres gave Barcelona a 2-0 win and the title. It was the first time Barcelona had won the league title directly after a Clásico. Across all official matches, the two clubs are level, with 106 wins each and 52 draws.
Before that, Barcelona have a busy October, with league matches against Getafe and Real Betis still to come.
