La Liga Matchday 11 runs from Friday, October 30 to Monday, November 2, and it comes with the title race tighter than it has been in weeks. Barcelona still lead the table on 27 points, but Real Madrid's 2-1 win in El Clásico on October 25 brought the leaders back down to earth — and the final two rounds before the last international break of 2026 are suddenly full of jeopardy. Here is the full fixture list, the kick-off times, and the games that matter most.

Barcelona vs Alavés: leaders look for a response
Barcelona play again at home after their disappointment in El Clásico last matchday, and the fixture could hardly be kinder on paper. Alavés have taken just two points from their last six matches, and Barcelona will expect to win this one comfortably at Camp Nou. But that is exactly why this game matters: after losing the Clásico, anything less than three points here would let the chasing pack close right up, and the leaders cannot afford a second straight slip.

Racing vs Real Madrid: the champions' awkward trip
Real Madrid travel to Racing Santander on Sunday morning, and this is the fixture with the most upset potential in the round. Racing were buoyed by their comeback against Espanyol, and they host a Real Madrid side arriving on the back of their excellent performance in El Clásico. Real Madrid won 2-1 at Camp Nou on October 25 — a result that tightened the top of the table — but a trip to El Sardinero on a Sunday morning is a very different test from a Clásico under the lights.
Second-placed Atlético Madrid are also in action on Saturday, visiting Levante in the early game. With Barcelona and Real Madrid both playing later in the weekend, Atlético have the chance to set the pace before their rivals kick off.
The rest of Matchday 11
Friday opens the round with Villarreal vs Espanyol, and the relegation picture gives the weekend an extra edge: Espanyol and Valencia are both in the relegation places, while bottom side Málaga — who visit Real Betis on Saturday — are one of only two teams in Europe's major leagues yet to win a game this season. Sunday closes with the Basque derby, Athletic Club vs Real Sociedad, one of Spanish football's great rivalries, and the round ends on Monday night with Deportivo La Coruña vs Osasuna at Riazor.
Looking ahead, Matchday 12 brings another huge fixture: Atlético de Madrid vs Barcelona on Sunday, November 8. The next two rounds will say a lot about whether this title race stays a three-way fight.
