Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano tickets La Liga

The first weekend of La Liga set the tone at the Estadio Sánchez-Pizjuán, where Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano both opened their campaigns on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 21:30. As matchday 1 of 38, it launched a long season for both sides under the lights of a 42,500-seat ground in Seville, one of the bigger arenas in Spain. The two clubs had crossed paths here before: earlier that same year they shared the points in a 1-1 draw at this ground in La Liga, a reminder that this encounter rarely ran to a simple script. An evening kick-off in mid-August, with the schedule still wide open, gave the meeting the feel of a fresh start rather than a settling of accounts.
