Spain's government has intervened to change the date of the two La Liga Clasicos between Real Madrid and Barcelona during the 2015-16 campaign.

Both games have been moved from the dates first announced in late July, with the first meeting at Madrid's Estadio Santiago Bernabeu switched from Nov. 8 to Nov. 22, and the return game at Barcelona's Camp Nou pushed back a week from April 3 to 10.

The Liga season will also now end on May 22, not May 15 as had initially been announced by the LFP.

The Copa del Rey final, meanwhile, has been moved by the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD) -- it has now been provisionally set for Saturday May 7, from a previous date of May 20, although AS reports it could be moved again depending on the finalists' late-season schedules.
