The 2016–17 La Liga season, also known as La Liga Santander for sponsorship reasons,^[2] is the 86th since its establishment. The season began on 19 August 2016 and will conclude on 21 May 2017.

Barcelona are the defending champions.

The fixtures were announced on 15 July 2016.^[3]

Name sponsorship

Spanish bank BBVA will not remain main sponsor for the Spanish first division, the two parties announced.^[4] The Spanish top flight will now be called LaLiga while the second division will be called LaLiga2.^[5] The league made this change to maximize the LaLiga brand. Because of the sponsor change, Konami's well-known football-based video game Pro Evolution Soccer will lose the license for Spain's top tier football league, and the license will be taken over by world's most popular football-based video game EA's FIFA.. On 20 July, Banco Santander was appointed as new sponsor.

Deportivo Alavés was the first team from Segunda División to achieve promotion, after a ten-year absence from La Liga, on 29 May 2016 after winning 2–0 against CD Numancia.^[6] CD Leganés was promoted as the runners-up after winning 1–0 at CD Mirandés in the last match-day, on 4 June 2016. This was Leganés' first promotion to the top division.^[7] CA Osasuna was the last to be promoted after beating Gimnàstic de Tarragona and Girona FC in the play-offs.^[8] The Reds come back to La Liga two years after its last relegation.

The three promoted clubs replace Rayo Vallecano, Getafe and Levante who were relegated during the previous season.

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.
