LaLiga has published the schedules for the first three matchdays of the championship. Sevilla FC will play all matches on Saturday, with two home games and one away.

Sevilla FC already knows the calendar for its first three commitments in LaLiga 2026-27. All of them will take place on Saturday, with two matches at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán and one away at San Mamés. The competition will kick off on 15 August at 21:30.

Home debut against Rayo Vallecano

The first opponent will be Rayo Vallecano, who will visit Nervión on the opening matchday. The match, scheduled for Saturday 15 August at 21:30, will allow Sevilla fans to support the team from the first minute. The Nervión coach will be able to count on the home advantage to secure the first three points.

Sevilla FC will look to start on the right foot against a Madrid side that often complicates matters for the big teams. The preseason for the Seville team has ended on a positive note, according to club sources, and the squad arrives with confidence.

First major trip to Bilbao

The second matchday will take Sevilla FC to San Mamés to face Athletic Club. The match will be played on Saturday 22 August at 17:00. It is one of the most difficult stadiums in LaLiga, where the local fans are intense and the Basque team usually shows their best version.

The Nervión team will need to demonstrate their solidity away from home if they want to bring back a positive result. Sevilla fans planning to travel to Bilbao can now organise their trip with the confirmed schedule.

Hosting Atlético de Madrid to close the first block

The third matchday brings Sevilla FC back to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, where they will host Atlético de Madrid on Saturday 29 August at 21:30. It will be a high-voltage clash between two candidates for the top of the table.

The colchonero team, led by Diego Simeone, is always a tough opponent. Sevilla fans are confident that the support of their crowd will help secure a prestigious victory. The club's management hopes to fill the stadium for both home matches.

With this schedule, Sevilla FC faces a demanding but manageable start to the League on paper, with two home matches that could set the tone for the season. Fans can already mark the August dates in red.
