On 6 May 2020, the Royal Spanish Football Federation announced the premature end of the league due to the COVID-19 pandemic, revoking relegations and naming Barcelona as league champions five years after their last title. Also, it was approved the expansion of the league to 18 teams for the 2020–21 season.[1]

Overview

Round 9 was postponed due to a strike of the players claiming for a collective agreement to improve their work conditions.
