Official Statement

LaLiga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) inform that the LaLiga Santander Matchday 37 and 38 fixtures and the 41^st and 42^nd rounds of LaLiga SmartBank games will feature simultaneous kick-off times, as has been the case in previous seasons.

In any event, decisions regarding scheduling will be taken following the conclusion of Matchday 36 and/or 37 in LaLiga Santander and Matchday 40 and/or 41 in LaLiga SmartBank.
