La Liga and Segunda games on last two matchdays to be at same time

LaLiga confirmed that matchdays 37 and 38 of La Liga will see all the meaningfull matches at the same time. This is the same as in previous seasons. Matchday 37 will take place on Thursday 16th July while matchday 38 will be on Sunday 19th July. The kick off times have yet to be decided. 

Real Madrid could end up clinching the league title on the penultimate matchday as they are four points clear of Barcelona with four matchdays left. Mallorca, Leganes and Espanyol are in the bottom three.

The full schedule will not be confirmed until after matchday 36 and 37 respectively have been completed as meaningless games will not be played at the same time as the rest of the matches for television purposes. If the schedule allows the various battles such as the title race, European places and relegation to be separated into different time slots, then that will also be done. However, if a match involves a team fighting for the title and one to avoid relegation, all teams in those battles must play simultaneously.

Matchdays 41 and 42 in Segunda will also be played at the same time on Friday 17th and Monday 20th July respectively.
