Madrid's three main football teams are Real Madrid, Atlético de
Madrid and Rayo Vallecano. Getafe is a city in the Madrid Metropolitan area and is therefore also included here.
When Real
Madrid and Atlético coincide in the first division, the Spanish Footbal League normally
ensures that they play at home on alternate weekends. Whilst the majority of games are
played on Sunday, starting at 5 p.m. in winter and 7 p.m. in summer, matches are often
scheduled at other times or even on Saturdays to allow teams to prepare mid-week European fixtures, or to allow for televised games.
Occasionally, league games are also played mid-week. Information about how to
obtain tickets to the games may be found below.
A complete fixture list for the 2008 - 2009 season is available
here.
