All statistics correct as of 12 December 2016.

The 2016–17 La Liga season, also known as La Liga Santander for sponsorship reasons,[2] is the 86th since its establishment. The season began on 19 August 2016 and will conclude on 21 May 2017.

Barcelona are the defending champions.

Name sponsorship[edit]

The Spanish top flight dropped the sponsorship from BBVA and will now be called LaLiga while the second division will be called LaLiga2.[3][4] The league made this change to maximize the LaLiga brand. Because of the sponsor change, Konami's well-known football-based video game Pro Evolution Soccer will lose the license for Spain's top tier football league, and the license will be taken over by EA's FIFA.[citation needed]. On 20 July, Banco Santander was appointed as new sponsor.

Teams[edit]

Promotion and relegation (pre-season)[edit]

A total of 20 teams will contest the league, including 17 sides from the 2015–16 season and three promoted from the 2015–16 Segunda División. This will include the two top teams from the Segunda División, and the winners of the play-offs.

Deportivo Alavés was the first team from Segunda División to achieve promotion, after a ten-year absence from La Liga, on 29 May 2016 after winning 2–0 against CD Numancia.[5] CD Leganés was promoted as the runners-up after winning 1–0 at CD Mirandés in the last match-day, on 4 June 2016. This was Leganés' first promotion to the top division.[6] CA Osasuna was the last to be promoted after beating Gimnàstic de Tarragona and Girona FC in the play-offs.[7] The Reds come back to La Liga two years after its last relegation.

The three promoted clubs replace Rayo Vallecano, Getafe and Levante who were relegated during the previous season.
