LaLiga and the Spanish FA to go to court over Monday and Friday fixtures LaLiga No agreement reached

The Spanish government's sports council organised a meeting between LaLiga and the Spanish FA to try to resolve the two organisations' conflict over the scheduling of fixtures on Monday and Friday nights, but no agreement was reached.

Those at LaLiga believe the law regarding the sale of TV rights gives them the authority to schedule matches on Mondays and Fridays if they want to.

The sports council's involvement is now over, after managing to get the two bodies to agree on a minimum agreement - even if the Monday and Friday fixtures issue was left out of this.

Now a judge will rule on this matter and for the time being the kick-off times announced for the first three rounds of the 2019/20 season are expected to be maintained, even though there are several Monday and Friday fixtures scheduled.

Unless the judge decides to move these matches, they'll go ahead as planned and it is thought to be very unlikely that the Spanish FA would go so far as to refuse to send referees to these Monday and Friday night fixtures, one of which - Athletic Club vs Barcelona on August 16 - kicks off the season.

One other issue discussed was the fact that Javier Tebas currently has a couple of complaints filed against his counterpart Luis Rubiales, but these have not yet been withdrawn.
