With Real Madrid having made it through to the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup, it creates some conflict as far as their start to the new La Liga season is concerned.
The Merengues are scheduled to play Osasuna in the opening gameweek on the night of August 19 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Now, according to journalist Anton Meana on Carrusel, Real Madrid have formally requested La Liga to reschedule their first match of the 2025/26 season against Osasuna through a letter sent this morning.

In it, Los Blancos have informed La Liga that they have held talks with both Osasuna and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) regarding the same and have reached an agreement over a new date for the match – October 29.
