Real Madrid New Season Schedule Analysis: Key Date, National Derby and Madrid Derby

After four years of coaching in Ancelotti, Real Madrid officially entered the Alonso era in the 2025/26 season. Here are the situations that the Galaxy Battleships will face next season.

Real Madrid's new season opening match will be home against Osasuna on August 17. But this date is likely to be adjusted according to the situation of the Club World Cup. If they can defeat Dortmund and enter the semi-finals, they must be appropriately postponed according to the minimum break stipulated by the Association of Spanish Players (AFE), otherwise the players will only have two weeks of preseason time.

The opening stage is relatively easy. In the first six games, two newly promoted teams, including Real Ovido (Royal) and Levante (Royal). There are also three teams in the second half of last season, and the schedule will become increasingly fierce since then. The schedule from the end of September to mid-November will be very difficult for Real Madrid. Starting from the city derby that challenged Atletico Madrid away on September 28, next is home against Villarreal, and then the first national derby with Barcelona at home on October 26, with Valencia (home) and Vallecano (away) following closely behind.

It is worth noting that Bellingham is likely to miss the Madrid derby due to shoulder surgery, and the good news is that he can catch up with the first national derby.

Real Madrid's last league game in 2025 will be the home match against Sevilla on December 21, and the first game in 2026 will be against Real Betis on January 4.

Before the final international match day, Real Madrid will have their second Madrid derby at home on March 22. As the Champions League knockout stage enters the final stage, they will face Girona (home), Real Betis (home), Alaves (home) and Espanyol (home). The second national derby to the New Camp Nou Stadium on May 10 is the top priority. This stage of the game will undoubtedly determine the final ownership of the league championship. After the national derby, Real Madrid's opponents in the last three rounds of the new season are Real Ovido (home), Sevilla (home) and Athletic Bilbao (home).

Overall, the middle of the first half, the seven weeks from January to February, and the month from April to May are the most difficult for the new coach Alonso. If you break through it, you will undoubtedly be a new world.
