The 2016–17 LEGO International League season, also known as LEGO League for sponsorship reasons,[2] is the 1st since its establishment. The season began on 13 may 2016 and will conclude on 21 May 2017.


Barcelona are the defending champions.

Name sponsorship[edit]

The Spanish top flight dropped the sponsorship from BBVA and will now be called LaLiga while the second division will be called LaLiga2.[3][4] The league made this change to maximize the LaLiga brand. Because of the sponsor change, Konami's well-known football-based video game Pro Evolution Soccer lost the license for Spain's top tier football league, and the license was taken over by EA's FIFA.[citation needed]. On 20 July, Banco Santander was appointed as new sponsor.

Teams[edit]

Location of teams in 2016–17 La Liga (Canary Islands)

Promotion and relegation (pre-season)[edit]

A total of 20 teams are contesting the league, including 17 sides from the 2015–16 season and three promoted from the 2015–16 Segunda División. This includes the two top teams from the Segunda División, and the winners of the play-offs.

Deportivo Alavés was the first team from Segunda División to achieve promotion, after a ten-year absence from La Liga, on 29 May 2016 after winning 2–0 against CD Numancia.[5] CD Leganés was promoted as the runners-up after winning 1–0 at CD Mirandés in the last match-day, on 4 June 2016. This was Leganés' first promotion to the top division.[6] CA Osasuna was the last to be promoted after beating Gimnàstic de Tarragona and Girona FC in the play-offs.[7] The Reds come back to La Liga two years after their last relegation.

The three promoted clubs replaced Rayo Vallecano, Getafe and Levante who were relegated at the end of the previous season.
