La Liga is heating up as we enter the run-in, with teams at both ends of the table looking to end the pulsating 2025/26 campaign on a high.
While most of the focus is on the battle for the Spanish holy grail between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the summit, it’ll be silly to completely ignore the relegation dogfight on the other end of the table.
Levante and Real Oviedo look odds-on to drop into the Spanish second division, while Alaves, Rayo Vallecano, Valencia, Elche, and Mallorca are desperate to avoid taking the third relegation spot.
Over the coming weeks, teams at both ends of the table are poised to push aggressively to achieve their respective objectives, and March fixtures could be key to doing just that.
With a few mouth-watering contests scheduled to take place in March, fans looking to live stream some of the games can explore different options here.
Without further ado, let’s explore some of the most promising La Liga fixtures to watch in March.
Real Betis vs Sevilla – March 1
La Liga will get off to an exciting start with the Seville derby scheduled for March 1 as Real Betis host local rivals Sevilla at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.Both sides are chasing different objectives at this stage of the season.
Betis are firmly in the race to secure a Champions League spot, while Sevilla are hovering around mid-table after surviving one too many relegation scares.
The visitors have traditionally dominated this fixture, but Betis have won back-to-back Seville derbies leading up to this match-up. They had previously gone 12 games without a win against their local rivals (D5, L7).
Barcelona vs Sevilla – March 15
Barcelona will lock horns with Sevilla on March 15 as they continue their La Liga title defence.
This fixture has been one-sided over the past couple of years, but Sevilla stunned the La Liga champions in their most recent meeting at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
Los Rojiblancos claimed a stunning 4-1 victory over Barcelona. Former Catalan Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Isaac Romero doubled Sevilla’s advantage.
Marcus Rashford reduced the deficit on the stroke of half-time, but late goals from Jose Angel Carmona and Akor Adams sealed maximum points for Sevilla.
Barcelona will be determined to avenge that thumping defeat after seeing their 19-game unbeaten streak against Sevilla come to an abrupt end.
Elche vs Mallorca – March 21
Going further down the table, relegation battlers Elche and Mallorca will lock horns at the Estadio Martínez Valero on March 21.
This fixture may not immediately stand out on the La Liga calendar, but it could have a massive impact on the relegation battle.
These two sides are separated by one point at the time of writing, with Elche sitting 17th in the La Liga table and Mallorca in 18th place.
The landscape could change significantly before they go head-to-head, but this fixture could make or break both sides’ survival battle.
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid – March 22
Madrid will be determined to avenge their thumping defeat at Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium when they host capital rivals Atletico Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu.
Los Blancos fell to a shocking 5-2 defeat against their Madrid rivals under Xabi Alonso’s leadership.
While Madrid responded by eliminating Atletico from the Supercopa de Espana with a 2-1 victory, their La Liga rematch could carry significantly higher stakes.
Madrid are looking to reclaim the La Liga crown from Barcelona this season, but this fixture could impact their title hopes.
Alvaro Arbeloa’s side have looked shaky at times this season, although the same can be said for their title rivals, who have also wobbled at times.
Nevertheless, dropping points in the Madrid derby could give Barcelona the green light to run away with the title.
