The 2025-26 La Liga season featured one of the tightest relegation battles in recent years, with Real Oviedo long confirmed as the first team down while a cluster of clubs including Girona, Mallorca, Levante, Elche, and Osasuna remained in contention entering the final matchday. Key results and form over the closing weeks determined survival, as Girona and Mallorca ultimately joined Oviedo in dropping to the Segunda División after failing to secure the necessary points in their concluding fixtures. The compressed table left little margin for error across the bottom half, with home/away splits, goal difference, and head-to-head records proving decisive in the final standings.
