Spain's premier football competition, La Liga, returns for its 95th season and promises to bring another mouthwatering campaign for all the fans worldwide.

With another blockbuster La Liga upon us, top Spanish clubs are itching to exhibit their talent this season. Real Oviedo are back in the top flight for the first time in 24 years; they will join the other two promoted teams, Levante and Elche, in the competition. They replaced the three relegated teams, Valladolid, Las Palmas, and Leganes.

Barcelona outshone the rest of the teams to earn their 28th La Liga title last season under the leadership of Hansi Flick. 

The most successful team in the tournament's history, Real Madrid ended their last season on a heartbreaking note. Los Blancos have a bigger responsibility this time, not only to bounce back and dethrone Barcelona to regain their lost crown but also to give a statement to their newly appointed boss, Xabi Alonso.

While these two giants will be battling it out for the title, Atletico Madrid will be coming as the real underdogs this time. Los Colchoneros must be confident after their last season's performance, ending the season just 12 points behind the leaders, Barcelona. 

The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details and how to follow the matches.
