There are plenty of enthralling storylines in La Liga to get excited about. Not only will fans be able to catch the title race between Real Madrid and Barcelona, but there are also plenty of teams battling for Champions League qualification and a tense relegation battle, so there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The Mirror add that late-afternoon and evening matches will be shown every day of the week, and weekends will also see games played late at night to ensure the season finishes as soon as possible.
Since the postponement of Spanish football in March, LaLigaTV has featured a variety of innovative programming, including a weekly #LaLigaClassics Fan Pick of the Week, in which fans get to select a top match from the past two decades; as well as new shows such as #StayAtHome and La Liga Nations.
LaLigaTV has also broadcast live events including the #LaLigaSantanderChallenge eSports tournament, won by Real Madrid’s Marco Asensio, as well as the #LaLigaSantanderFest live benefit concert, which raised over €1m to help combat COVID-19.
