Málaga CF now knows the path it must handle in the upcoming LaLiga EA SPORTS season. The Spanish Federation and the league body have published the full schedule for the 2026/27 campaign, which will see Atlético Madrid as the first opponent for the blanquiazules and Sevilla FC as the last.
This announcement comes at a time of reflection for the club, which is on a run of five matchdays without a win in the competition. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo on September 13, with Adrián Niño scoring in the 83rd minute. The current form reads zero wins, three draws, and two defeats, a record the team is eager to improve.
The start and the finish
The league opener against the colchoneros promises to be a high-level test from day one. Meanwhile, the final match against Sevilla will conclude a season the club approaches with the aim of consolidating its top-flight status. Fans can check the full itinerary on the club's fixtures page.
Key absence and market plan
Planning for the new season is affected by the absence of player Murillo. The footballer has undergone surgery on his right knee which has not given a specific timeline for his recovery. This situation shows the need for a careful transfer market strategy.
Sporting director Loren Juarros outlined the club's philosophy for the upcoming campaign. "We'll be patient to build the most complete squad possible," stated Juarros. The first pre-season test is already set against Leicester City, a match that will gauge the team's early condition.
Málaga CF's next official fixture is at home against Athletic Club on November 29. In the meantime, the focus is on improving the numbers of a squad urgently seeking form.
