Real Madrid 2025-26 fixture list analysis: Key dates, El Clasico and the derbies

Real Madrid now knows their matches for the coming LA Liga season, while Xabi Alonso opens the curtain on a new dawn for Los Blancos, after four years under Carlo Ancelotti. This is where Alonso is confronted in the 2025-26 season.

Los Blancos will open the season at home for Osasuna on May 17, but there is already doubt about whether that match could be postponed. If Alonso's side passes Borussia Dortmund and reaches the semi -final of the Club World Cup, then the minimum amount of rest required by the Spanish player association (AFE) would probably require that the game will be shifted, otherwise Los Blancos will leave by just two weeks in advance.

Real Madrid's opening Six Games will see them opposite two promoted sides in Real Oviedo (A) and Levante (A) before they come in. Three of those parties ended in the bottom half in Real Sociedad, which perhaps their ride -off journey of the openingstanza, and RCD Mallorca and Osasuna, who ended 10th and 9th last season.

Real Madrid is then confronted with a difficult series of matches from the end of September to mid -November. That starts on September 28 (all dates are the Sunday of the weekend before the last times are confirmed) with the Madrid Derby in the Metropolitano. After Atletico Madrid, Los Blancos Villarreal organizes, trip to Getafe and then organizes Barcelona in the first Clasico on October 26. Valencia (H) and Rayo Vallecano (A) follow in their most difficult run of the first round.

It is worth remembering that Jude Bellingham will probably miss the Madrid Derby because of shoulder surgery. The good news is that he must be suitable for the first Clasico.

The last match of 2025 for Los Blancos will be home against Sevilla on December 21 in match day and return to action on four January 2026 against Real Betis in MD18. While the first phase of the Champions League ends, trips to athletic, club, Villarreal, Valencia and Osasuna stand out as difficult, which occur in the room of seven competition days, alternately with home games against Levante, Rayo and Real Sociedad.

Before the last international break, Real Madrid is opposite Atletico Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu on March 22 in MD29, and on the other side of the international break, travel to RCD Mallorca. As the knockout stages of the Champions League progress in the final rounds, Real Madrid then have Girona (H), Real Betis (A), Alaves (H) and a double header in Barcelona against Espanyol (A) and the second Clasico on 10 May in Camp Nou (MD35).

Real Madrid ends after the Clasico with real Oviedo (H, midweek round), Sevilla (A) and Athletic (H). In general there are three runs that stand out on paper, although that means little before the season starts. The middle phase of the first round, followed by seven weeks in January and February, and a month-long run in April-May look as if they can be the most heavy for Alonso, who also have new fitness employees with the side led by Israel Carmenforte.
