Real Madrid have officially requested the postponement of their first LaLiga match of the 2025/26 season against Osasuna, originally scheduled for August 19 at the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to reports from Madrid Xtra, Real Madrid, Osasuna, and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have all reached an agreement to reschedule the fixture to October 29, 2025. LaLiga officials are now expected to make a final decision regarding this request.
The request comes shortly after LaLiga released the complete fixture list for the upcoming season. Xabi Alonso's men were initially set to face Osasuna in their opening match at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday, August 19, 2025.
The 2025/26 LaLiga season is scheduled to commence on Friday, August 15, 2025, and will conclude on Sunday, May 24, 2026. While the specific reasons for Real Madrid's postponement request have not been officially disclosed, it could potentially be related to the club's pre-season commitments or player availability concerns.
This development adds an interesting twist to the start of the Spanish football season, with the reigning champions potentially beginning their title defense later than their competitors if LaLiga approves the request.
The decision will likely impact both clubs' early-season preparations and could create fixture congestion later in the campaign, particularly with European competitions and domestic cup matches also on the calendar.
