    La liga to be played in the USA

    La liga, executives were set to discuss the issue in a board meeting on Monday, in the first step in a process which would see a Spanish first division game being played overseas for the first time.

    Villarreal are due to host Barcelona on Matchday 17 in LaLiga this season, scheduled for the weekend of Dec. 20, 2025

    Money is ruining the game for fans.

    Both sets of fans are very much against it as you’d rightly expect

    Personally not a fan of this at all. That said, it's hard not to see how La Liga itself like it and it helps them steal a march on the premier League, serie A, bundesliga etc

    It'll happen here eventually.

    The number of Yank owners of football clubs will be enough to vote it through in the future.

    Wasn't there rumblings from the Birmingham owners last season for them V Wrexham to be played in USA.
    As stated will definitely happen. We'll be ok.. Cardiff V port vale doesn't have an attractive ring to it

    You’d think/hope the new Football Governance Act would put to bed any of that silly nonsense from happening here.

    La Liga has always been quick to throw away their integrity for money. Since 2020 the Spanish Supercup has been held in Saudi Arabia and will be played there until 2029. And to format has been expanded from 2 teams/1 game to 4 teams/3 games.

    Absolutely. It also has typically had much less equitable TV deals. They change fixtures there very late in the day and is a major reason there is a lack of away fans and often a poor atmosphere at games. It has a lot of glamour but from a "fans rights" perspective it is behind the premier League, as imperfect as that is

    It's bonkers and they've lost the plot! Football is a home and away fixture sport, and if you take that away you lose everything that football stands for. It's actually more mad than Cardiff playing in red!

    That's a real shame. Money is out of control. There's way too much of it where it shouldn't be.

    Swansea and Palace was played at Ninian Park, so there is precedent for this sort of thing

    Big Spanish speaking support ( the ones that haven’t been deported yet) in a lot of the southern states. Really good marketing play imo.

    The crowd in LA especially has a very definite sense of South American influence in the way they get behind their team

    This is a tricky question for us to answer really.
