The 2022/23 La Liga Santander season begins on Friday with Osasuna taking on Sevilla. Ruling champions Real Madrid and Barcelona have bolstered their teams this summer and are starting as favorites. Two-time champions in the last decade, Atletico Madrid will start from the second row of the grid.

About the Money Distribution
Under the La Liga TV Rights Agreement, half of the funds must be split equally among all 20 clubs.
The other half is divided into two parts. One is based on each club’s so-called social implantation, which states each club’s individual involvement in creating season tickets, average box office revenue for the last five seasons, and resources available for broadcast.
The second part is based on the ranking, which accounts for 25% of the royal edict income.
Champions receive 17% of their earnings, with the rest of the money going to the bottom team who receive 0.25%. Between his eight best league players, the difference in individual standings is around €7 million, and this value decreases as the table progresses.
