Alaves starts the 2026/27 La Liga season with half of its matches postponed, including its match against Getafe, due to the absence of international players and the poor state of the Balaídos grass. The team of Beñat San José will begin the league at home, but the second round will be played as a local 'exiled' in Butarque (Leganés) after the Community of Madrid withdrew the concession to use the Vallecas Stadium to address urgent works of indeterminate duration that ensure the use of the facilities in safe conditions.
The first round of the LaLiga EA Sports 2026/27 will kick off this Saturday with half of its matches postponed, four of them to respect the rest of the international players who arrived at the final rounds of the World Cup held this summer in Mexico, Canada and the United States, and another, the Celta-Osasuna, due to the poor state of the Balaídos grass, affected by a fungus.
The team of Beñat San José has centered one of the summer's controversies: it will begin the league at home, but the second round will be played as a local 'exiled' in Butarque (Leganés) after the Community of Madrid withdrew the concession to use the Vallecas Stadium to address urgent works of indeterminate duration that ensure the use of the facilities in safe conditions.
The ball will roll for the first time at 19:30 hours on Saturday with the Deportivo Alavés-Getafe, which will offer in the Mendizorroza Stadium the first dish of the weekend, followed by the confrontation between Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano, which will debut as the current sub-champion of the Conference League.
