The summer international commitments and the poor state of a pitch have forced the modification of the official calendar. The main reason for the delay for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético and Betis is the labor regulations. The agreement requires guaranteeing 21 days of vacation to the players who played in the final rounds of the 2026 World Cup, causing these clubs to debut later in the tournament. LaLiga 2026-27 starts with several postponed matches that will extend the first round for almost two weeks. The affected clubs will curiously play the second round before recovering their inaugural matches. Atlético will play on August 19, Betis will play on August 25, while Real Madrid and Barcelona will recover their matches on August 26 and 27, respectively. With a league standing of 5th in La Liga, 46 pts, 11W-13D-7L from 31 games, and a recent form of DDLDL, Real Betis Balompié is looking to start strong in the new season.
