The EA Sports League 2026-2027will hold its first day on the weekend of 15-16 August, after arbitration has proved LaLiga right, a date opposed by the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE), which wants to postpone the start to the next weekend so that footballers who play the World Cup can have a longer rest.
The employers and the union did not conclude an agreement on the next campaign schedule, especially with regard to the start of the EA Sports League and the end of LaLiga Hypermotion, so, as stated in the Collective Agreement, they had to resort to arbitration, a body that has proved the organization chaired by Javier Tebas right at all points of the conflict, AFE sources have confirmed.
Thus, the tournament will begin on the weekend of 15-16 August, as LaLiga intended, and Thebes argued that this respected the 21 days of vacation and the three weeksof preseason, and that this first day would be divided into several days from Friday 14.
AFE
They put economic interests before the health of footballers.
For the AFE, however, this decision is "counterproductive" for players attending the World Cup because "they will not be properly trained and, in order to cope with such a tough season, the health of footballers is put at risk. "
The union also regrets that "economic interests have taken precedence over the welfare of footballers" and is therefore clear that "it is more necessary than ever" to negotiate a collective conflict resolution agreement as soon as possible.
The association chaired by David Aganzo did not like the role played by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) either because it was "out of place" or because it "strengthened the position of employers".
