The Spanish La Liga is one of the most decorated divisions in European club football. It’s one of the most prominent in the leading football betting markets, with pre-game and in-play odds covering every kick of every La Liga contest.
If you’re thinking of betting on La Liga for the first time, we’ve got you covered. Below, we explain all there is to know about betting on Spain’s top flight.
Spain’s La Liga was established in 1929, creating the top tier of professional Spanish football. Originally, the league consisted of ten clubs, before expanding over time. Since 1997, La Liga has consisted of 20 top-flight clubs.
The two lowest-ranked teams are relegated to the second tier – now known as La Liga 2. The third lowest-ranked team enters a relegation playoff with the third-placed La Liga 2 team, with the winner securing a place in the next La Liga season.
Knowing your stuff and how the sport works is a massive help when it comes to making informed bets.
Before you place your bets, make sure you understand how your bet works. For example, if you place an acca bet, you need to win every single one for you to receive any real cash winnings. Our Help Centre has loads of handy guides to help you with your sports betting.
The safest bet is the least risky bet. Never place a bet you’re not comfortable with, and if you need help, our Safer Gambling Portal has tools you can set up like deposit limits, time outs, and self-exclusions.

Which La Liga fixtures carry the most interest and liquidity? Below, we explain three popular contests that attract the most interest in our La Liga Betting Odds at talkSPORT BET:
Dubbed ‘El Clasico’, each clash between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is worth its weight in gold. These two clubs are the true heavyweights of Spanish football and their squads are jam-packed with some of the best talent in world football. As it’s so often a two-horse race for the La Liga title, El Clasico matches often decide the outcome of the domestic season.
The Madrid Derby between Real and Atletico is also a very popular contest. Atletico have often successfully punched above their weight and enjoy giving their more illustrious city rivals a metaphorical bloodied nose on occasion.
The Seville Derby is another passionate encounter between Sevilla and Real Betis. Outside of El Clasico, this fixture is comfortably the most fiercely contested match in the La Liga fixture schedule. Real Betis view themselves as the working class half of the city, while Sevilla have been the more successful club in recent times, including their regular UEFA Europa League triumphs.
