This week, the Government of Spain informed that it gave green light to the return of LaLiga for the week of 8 June. Shortly after this announcement, Javier Thebes, president of the competition, ensured that his idea was that this reinicio led it an interesting derbi sevillano like the Seville-Betis. This party, to fault of official confirmation, will play on 11 June as it commented the costarricense. From the 12 would follow the day in which the FC Barcelona will have to travel to Mallorca to confront to the Balearic.

They are missing little more than two weeks and average so that it go back the football to Spain and Thebes already gives form to his new calendar.

In principle, for the days between week, there will be two time bands quite marked in which they will divide distinct meetings. One will begin to the 19:30 or 20:00 of the afternoon and the another will be on the 21:30 or the 22:00.

In the weekends will be three time bands to take advantage of the free days of the viewers. The first would be on the 17:00 hours, the following to the 19:30 and the another, as during the week, to the 21:30 or 22:00. The heat of the summer already has arrived to remain to a lot of zones of Spain and therefore it will have a lot of care to the hour to choose schedules in determinate zones of the country. LaLiga Has studied the temperatures of previous years to make the calendar that will know next week.

The south teams of Spain, like Seville or Betis, or even the ones of the Plateau, is impossible that can play in full month of June or July to the 17:00 or the 19:00, when it still is of day. For this time band, LaLiga would opt for planting to other groups of zones less calurosas like the ones of the north. Real Sociedad, Athletic Club, Osasuna or even Celtic of Vigo could have more options to contest his meetings to this hour.
