The 2020–21 La Liga season, also known as LaLiga Santander due to sponsorship reasons, will be the 90th since its establishment. The season will begin on 12 September 2020 and is scheduled to end on 23 May 2021.[1] Real Madrid are the defending champions.

Teams

Promotion and relegation (pre-season)

A total of 20 teams contest the league, including 17 sides from the 2019–20 season and three promoted from the 2019–20 Segunda División. This includes the two top teams from the Segunda División, and the winners of the play-offs.

Teams relegated to Segunda Division

The first team to be relegated from La Liga were Espanyol. They were relegated on 8 July 2020, after losing 1−0 in the Derbi Barceloní, ending their 26-year stay in the top tier.[2] The second team to be relegated were Mallorca, who were relegated on 16 July 2020 after a 1−2 home defeat against Granada, suffering an immediate return to the second division.[3] The third and final team to be relegated were Leganés on 19 July 2020 after drawing 2−2 against Real Madrid in the final game of the season. This ends Lega's four-year stint in the first tier.[4]

Teams promoted from Segunda Division

On 12 July 2020, Cádiz were the first to be promoted, after a 14-year absence, following Oviedo's 4−2 win against Zaragoza.[5] The second team to earn promotion was Huesca after their 3−0 win against Numancia on 17 July 2020. This marks an immediate return to the first division.[6]
