La Liga 2024 Showdown: Unexpected Contenders Poised to Disrupt the Giants—Who Will Rise?

The 2025/26 La Liga season is ready to ignite on the weekend of August 15–17, with the calendar promising a compelling blend of familiar powerhouses, rising stars, and fresh narratives across Spain’s top tier.
As Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid prepare to renew their annual battle for supremacy, a host of dark horses and relegation battlers gear up for what could be one of the most tactically varied and unpredictable campaigns in recent years.
Title Favorites and Outright Odds
Despite finishing behind Barcelona last term, Real Madrid have been installed as early favorites for the title. With Xabi Alonso now at the helm, the bookmakers seem to believe the former midfielder’s return to the Bernabeu could spark a fresh era of dominance. However, it’s also reasonable to expect some time would be needed for Alonso to get his ranks in order, with new signings coming in and the failure to win any silverware last season possibly still lingering as a dark cloud over the squad.
