The competition was scheduled to start on 8 September 2023, but two days before that, it was reported that the first two rounds would be postponed due to a strike by the players, after a pay dispute between their union (AFE) and the federation (RFEF) was not resolved.[1][2]

Summary

Postponements

The competition was scheduled to start on 8 September 2023, but two days before that, it was reported that the first two rounds would be postponed due to a strike by the players, after a pay dispute between their union (AFE) and the Spanish football federation (RFEF) was not resolved. The strike came after the negotiations for a higher minimum wage were not resolved before the start of the season.[3][4]

On 14 September 2023, an agreement for the next three seasons was reached between the parties to end the strike, which paved the way for the league season to start the next day with the matchday two matches. The matchday one matches were played from 3–5 October 2023.[5][6][7]

Teams

Changes from 2022–23 season
