KARACHI: ARY Digital Network has once again announced an exciting update for sports lovers in Pakistan as it has exclusively acquired TV and digital rights for La Liga 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Administered by the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional, it is contested by 20 teams, with the three lowest-placed teams at the end of each season being relegated to the Segunda División and replaced by the top two teams and a play-off winner in that division.
La Liga has been the top league in Europe in each of the seven years from 2013 to 2019 (calculated using accumulated figures from five preceding seasons) and has led Europe for 22 of the 60 ranked years up to 2019, more than any other country.
La Liga Season 2022-23 will commence on August 13.
