LaLiga has brought forward two matchday-23 games to Wednesday 2 December: Barcelona host Atlético Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou, and Real Sociedad play Real Madrid. Both had been due on the weekend of 7 February.
The reason is the Spanish Super Cup, which Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético and Real Sociedad contest in Istanbul from 2 to 7 February 2027, according to Libertad Digital. Mundo Deportivo had pointed to the first week of December before the dates were official, because the four clubs are exempt from the Copa del Rey's second round that week. Outlets quote different kick-off times for the two games, so we leave them out.
Barcelona and Atlético will meet in LaLiga twice in 24 days, after their game at the Metropolitano on 8 November. Barcelona lead the table on 33 points after 12 games, Real Madrid have 30, Atlético 28 and Real Sociedad 22 in fifth.
The December games follow straight after matchday 14 (27 to 30 November). Barcelona visit Deportivo on Sunday 29 November, Atlético go to Elche and Real Madrid host Alavés on Saturday 28, and Real Sociedad host Sevilla on the Sunday.
