The Spanish football authorities have officially announced the dates for the highly anticipated El Clasico fixtures between Barcelona and Real Madrid for the 2025/2026 LaLiga season. The announcement came on Tuesday as part of the release of the complete Spanish top-flight league calendar.
According to the schedule, the first El Clasico of the season will take place at the Santiago Bernabéu on the weekend of October 25-26, 2025. The return fixture will be held later in the season on the weekend of May 9-10, 2026.
El Clasico matches are traditionally the most eagerly awaited fixtures in the Spanish football calendar, drawing millions of viewers worldwide and showcasing the intense rivalry between Spain's two most successful clubs.
Barcelona's Recent Dominance
The upcoming clashes will be particularly interesting following Barcelona's complete dominance in the fixture during the previous season. The Catalan giants won all four El Clasico encounters against Real Madrid last season, a remarkable achievement that contributed significantly to their domestic double.
Barcelona ultimately secured both the LaLiga title and the Copa del Rey ahead of their fierce rivals, making the upcoming season's encounters even more significant as Real Madrid will be seeking redemption.
The 2025/2026 season marks another chapter in one of football's greatest rivalries, with both teams likely to field strong squads as they battle for Spanish football supremacy.
