La Liga 2020-21 Fixtures, El Clasico Scheduled For October 25, April 11

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has confirmed the La Liga Schedule for the 2020-21 season with Barcelona vs Madrid, which is called the El Grand Clasico, scheduled for October 25 and April 11 which could be more with other fixtures such as the Copa del Rey.

Barcelona is scheduled to start at home to Elche and Madrid at home to Getafe but both games will be rearranged to allow more rest for teams involved in last season's European competitions, which only ended in August.
