The 2026-2027 season of Spain's top football division will kick off in mid-August, and Elche CF, having secured promotion, will learn its official calendar on Tuesday, June 30. The presentation event will take place in Madrid, at Plaza de Colón, organized by LaLiga.
Elche fans will be focused on key dates, especially the clashes against Real Madrid and Barça, as well as the opponent for the opening and closing matches. The football season will conclude in late May, as is customary.
Historically, in their previous 25 seasons in the top flight, Elche has had varied debuts. They have won three times on opening day (the last in 1973), drawn eight times, and lost 14. Barça has been the most frequent opponent in the first match, with four encounters, although not all were the season's actual first game.
Regarding the final matches of the season, Elche has achieved nine victories and nine defeats, with seven draws. The most repeated opponents in the last league game have been Sevilla and Athletic, with four duels each.
