Official: Real Madrid’s 2023/24 La Liga fixture list announced
Less than a month after Real Madrid played their last match of the 2022/23 La Liga season, the fixture list for the 2023/24 campaign in the Spanish top flight has been released.
And, Real Madrid will kick off their campaign with a game against Athletic Club away from home at San Mames on August 12.
Los Blancos will then face UD Almeria and Celta Vigo in their subsequent matches, both on the road before playing their first home match of the season in Gameweek 4, against fellow Madrilenian outfit Getafe on September 3.
The big games come rolling from later that month as Real Madrid take on Atletico Madrid in the first derby of the season at the Civitas Metropolitano in Matchweek 6 (September 24).
A little over a month later, Carlo Ancelotti’s men take on champions and bitter rivals Barcelona away at the Montjuic in Matchweek 9 (October 29).

Real Madrid then host Atletico Madrid for the reverse fixture in the first week of February 2024 while the second El Clasico of the season will take place on April 21 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Merengues will end their campaign with a home game against Real Betis on of May 26.
Following Barcelona’s awe-inspiring comeback win against Celta Vigo yesterday, the pressure is on Real Madrid to regain top spot in La Liga as they travel to Civitas Metropolitano to lock horns against Atletico Madrid.
The first Madrid derby of the season will not feature Vinicius Jr, who had to pull out of the travelling squad today due to a stomach bug.
Jude Bellingham has been given the green light, though, and is likely starting as the out and out striker for this game, with Joselu benched. The Englishman is joined by Rodrygo by his side, while Luka Modric plays behind them as the attacking midfielder.
Behind this trio, Toni Kroos has been handed the keys as the pivot, with Aurelien Tchouameni benched. Eduardo Camavinga starts alongside Federico Valverde as the central midfielders.
Lucas Vazquez fills in for the injured Daniel Carvajal at right-back, while Fran Garcia comes back to take over his left-back spot from Nacho. David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger round off the quadrant in central defence, screening Kepa in goal.
Confirmed Madrid XI: Kepa; Vazquez, Rudiger, Alaba, Garcia; Valverde, Kroos, Camavinga; Modric; Rodrygo, Bellingham
