LaLiga has fixed Real Madrid and Barcelona for the weekend of 25 October and again for the weekend of 9 May in LaLiga 2026-27. The second Clásico will be at the Bernabéu, giving Real Madrid home advantage in jornada 35.
Javier Tebas oversaw the announcement of the 38 jornadas, and the calendar now gives the season its clearest markers: jornadas 10 and 35 for the Clásicos, jornada 7 and jornada 30 for the Derbi de Madrid, and jornadas 18 and 32 for the Derbi catalán. The order came from a sorteo, so the dates were set through the league’s scheduling process rather than by a later adjustment.
Bernabéu backs Real Madrid
The second meeting lands late enough in the season to sit near the title run-in, which is why the Bernabéu assignment matters more than a simple home-and-away split. If the race reaches the final stretch with little between Real Madrid and Barcelona, that match becomes the one fixed point left on the league board.
For Barcelona, the first Clásico arrives earlier, on the weekend of 25 October in jornada 10. For Real Madrid, the return meeting on the weekend of 9 May gives them the late home fixture and the kind of calendar edge clubs check the moment a schedule drops. A summer move for Camavinga has nothing to do with this fixture list, but the calendar now sits beside every other Real Madrid decision that is tied to next season.
Derbi de Madrid dates
The Madrid derby is set for the weekend of 20 September in jornada 7 and again for the weekend of 4 April in jornada 30. Those two meetings bookend much of the league campaign and give both Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid a pair of date anchors before the final month.
Elsewhere in the same schedule, Espanyol will host Barça in jornada 18 on the weekend of 3 January, and the return derby comes in jornada 32 on the weekend of 18 April at Camp Nou. That gives the Catalan derby its own split pattern across the season, with one meeting early in the new year and the other deep in the spring.
Javier Tebas and the sorteo
Tebas was the public face of the calendar release, and the league’s sorteo fixed the order of the 38 jornadas before the season starts. That is the practical takeaway for clubs and supporters: the biggest domestic fixtures now have dates, rounds, and venues attached, not just general windows.
The complication is obvious. The schedule gives football its scaffolding, but it does not decide the season itself. Real Madrid and Barcelona still have to play the matches, and the late Clásico only becomes decisive if the standings make it so. A Real Madrid link on Rúben Dias sits far outside this calendar, yet it shows how quickly fixture lists can start shaping wider planning once the dates are out.
For now, the useful part is simple. Real Madrid know they go to Barcelona first on 25 October and host the return on 9 May. Barcelona know the reverse. Everyone else in LaLiga 2026-27 has the same map in front of them, from the Derbi de Madrid to the Derbi catalán and the 38 jornadas that frame the season.
