The president of the LFP, Javier Tebas, revealed on Cadena COPE that there will be La Liga games next season (2016-17) on Saturdays with a 13.00h CET kick off.

This new time will not be fixed for every weekend of action, though. In principle, it will be for those weekends when games cannot be played on Fridays because of either international games or European competitions.

“The games on Mondays will be maintained, but Fridays will be open,” Tebas said on the show El Partido de las 12.

“There will be football earlier on Saturday, probably at one in the afternoon. We believe it’s a good time.

“It won’t be every week. It’s a day which all teams are able to play on, apart from those that play in the Europa League on Thursdays.”
