Atletico Madrid hosts Malaga in Liga opener on Wednesday
Malaga returns to top-flight football after eight years to face a revamped Atletico Madrid in the opening matchday, scheduled for Wednesday at 21:00.
Malaga CF makes its long-awaited return to Spain's top flight after an eight-year absence. The comeback will come against a reshaped Atletico Madrid in La Liga EA Sports opening fixture, according to Sport.
Back to the elite after eight years
The Andalusian side returns to the highest level following a promotion they described as "unforgettable and full of fulfilled dreams." The club has retained its core squad to compete in the top division, though the transfer market remains incomplete with several exits still pending that could unlock further signings.
The match kicks off this Wednesday at 21:00 at the Metropolitano. The fixture is scheduled early due to the presence of nearly ten Atletico internationals competing in the World Cup final.
Where to watch
The game will be broadcast on Movistar LALIGA, Movistar Plus+, and Orange Football 1. The home side arrives at their opening fixture with an advanced transfer window, though uncertainty remains regarding Julian Alvarez's future.
