Málaga CF hits 20,000 season ticket renewals before new sign-ups open
Málaga CF passed the 20,000 renewed season tickets mark for the 2026-27 campaign on Friday, a record that underscores the unrestrained excitement over the club’s return to La Liga after eight years away. The figure, announced this weekend, equals two-thirds of La Rosaleda’s current 30,778-seat capacity. And two weeks still remain before the club opens the window for new sign-ups on August 7.
Why this milestone matters for Málaga CF
The blanquiazul fanbase isn’t just breaking its own renewal record - it’s on track to top last season’s 26,500 seated members in Segunda División. The club launched an early renewal drive that has already placed several thousand fans on a waiting list. The milestone carries extra weight when set against La Rosaleda’s current capacity: with 20,000 season tickets, Málaga CF already fills two-thirds of the stadium before new sign-ups even begin.
Málaga CF eyes the future: a 55,000-seat stadium by 2032
While fans celebrate this landmark, the club is already collaborating with Málaga City Council, the provincial government and the Andalusian regional government on a megaproject: a new 55,000-seat stadium. The design, inspired by the Nuevo San Mamés, is budgeted at €414 million and could be ready by 2032. The announcement comes as Málaga CF prepares for its La Liga comeback with the strongest social base in years.
What’s next for Málaga CF supporters?
Until August 7, the club will keep its season-ticket renewal campaign open. After that date, new sign-ups will open, though the thousands on the waiting list will get priority. La Rosaleda’s 30,778 seats will soon feel cramped if the new stadium project stays on track. Meanwhile, Málaga CF keeps winning hearts across the province, proving the dream of top-flight football has lit a spark that’s hard to extinguish.
