Recap of the 2023/24 La Liga Season
The 2023/24 La Liga season was exciting and full of drama. It began on 11 August and ended on 26 May. The title was a close contest between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. One of the biggest surprise teams of the season was Girona, which gave the top clubs a run for their money and ended up finishing third.
There were many thrilling games throughout the season. Notable ones included the El Clásico involving Real Madrid against Barcelona. Real Madrid ran out as winners in both encounters courtesy of some thrilling last-minute goals. These games were crucial, as they went on to win the league.
Mid-table clashes and the struggle for survival also generated excitement during the season. Five teams fought for survival until the final weeks. Meanwhile, Cadiz, Almeria, and Granada were relegated from La Liga.
The Most Interesting La Liga Results
La Liga has witnessed several interesting results over the past few seasons. One of them was the memorable El Clásico in the 2018/19 season, where FC Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 5-1. This match was important on their way to securing the title.
Another notable outcome in La Liga was FC Barcelona's title victory in the 2022/23 season. It was their title yet again after losing three seasons, and they did it in style. The team broke the record for the fewest goals conceded in a season, letting in just 13 goals.
Real Madrid's 2023/24 La Liga title was also interesting. They clinched victory with four games left, marking the club's 36th league title.

Betting Tips for La Liga
Some La Liga odds betting tips can help improve your winning chances. One of the first things to note is that La Liga isn't just about the big three. Teams like Real Sociedad, Real Betis, and Villarreal have been known to pull off stunning upsets. Consider the 'Double Chance' market for these teams when they're playing at home against mid-table sides.
Home advantage in La Liga is also significant, with passionate crowds often swaying matches. The 'Draw No Bet' market can offer good value for La Liga betting for mid-to-lower table teams hosting similar opponents.
It's also important to check the European game schedule for the big clubs. Teams playing in European competitions midweek can sometimes struggle in their weekend La Liga matches. Keep an eye on the 'Draw' or 'Double Chance' markets for their opponents, especially if the European match is away or particularly tough.
Finally, La Liga has a reputation for being more defensive than some other top European leagues. Like when betting on Serie A odds, the 'Under 2.5 Goals' market can be profitable in La Liga betting, particularly in matches involving teams from the bottom half of the table.
2024/25 La Liga Season Important Dates
The season started on 15 August. One of the big games to watch on matchday one is Barcelona heading to Valencia. Real Madrid started defending their title with an away game at Mallorca, while their city rivals Atletico Madrid hit the road to face Villarreal at the Ceramica. Everything wraps up on 25 May 2025.
El Clásico is one of the most highly anticipated matches in La Liga, and the dates for the fixtures have dropped. Barcelona will head to the Bernabéu on 27 October. The second El Clásico will be on 1 May, with Barça hosting their rivals at home.
Promoted Teams for the 2024/25 La Liga Season
After finishing first and second in the Segunda division, Leganes and Valladolid earned automatic promotions to the top-flight league for the 2024/25 season. The teams that finished third to sixth competed in a playoff to determine who would complete the remaining slot. Espanyol emerged winners after beating Oviedo in the promotion play-off final. This helped them return to the top flight after only a single-season absence.
