La Liga

38 games, no playoff

20 clubs play home and away — 38 matches each. Whoever tops the 38-game table is champion of Spain. There's no final.

European places

The top 4 qualify for the Champions League, 5th for the Europa League and 6th for the Conference League — some of Europe's richest prizes.

Relegation

The bottom three clubs drop to the Segunda División, replaced by three teams coming up. Every point in the table matters.
