The 2025/26 La Liga season gets underway this weekend, but Real Madrid are being made to wait to start their campaign.

It is a new era for Los Blancos as they move on from Carlo Ancelotti to Xabi Alonso .

Last season was one to forget for one of the world's biggest clubs as they were beaten to La Liga glory by Barcelona and crashed out of the Champions League against Arsenal.

Despite signing Kylian Mbappe, it was a year that ended with failure at the Club World Cup as well.

But they will start this term as one of the clear favourites to win the league, and first up is a home game against Osasuna on Tuesday.

Why is Real Madrid vs Osasuna on Tuesday?

There appears to be no official reason for why this game is on Tuesday night other than fixture scheduling.
