The Spanish season kicks off this weekend, starting with Malaga versus Sevillla on Friday night (7.25pm, Sky Sports 3 and streamed online at skysports.com), with Barcelona's trip to Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid's opener against Sporting de Gijon among the games to choose from over the weekend.
As well as live games, fans will also be able to keep up to date with the latest news, previews and match reports from the Spanish league on Sky Sports News HQ and across online and social platforms.
A dedicated La Liga section on skysports.com includes a transfer news service throughout the season and features in-depth coverage of the big players and top teams.
Fans can also enjoy live interactive commentary for Real Madrid and Barcelona matches while video and audio content will be available every week, including the "Top 5 La Liga Goals" and the La Liga Weekly Podcast.
