Clubs gain three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a defeat.

At the end of each

season, the club with the most points in the Liga BBVA is crowned champion. If points are equal,
the head-to-head records determine the winner. If still equal, the goal difference and then goals
scored become the deciding factors. As for Liga Adelante, at the top end three clubs win
promotion to Liga BBVA, with the bottom three Liga BBVA clubs taking their places. At the lower
end, four club are relegated to the Segunda Divisin B, while four teams from the 2B join the
Liga Adelante in their stead.

Television rights[edit]

In February 2011 the LFP threatened strike action if the Spanish government did not lift the ruling
that one game per week must be shown free. The ruling was introduced in 1997 and the LFP
want it lifted for the 201213 season. Spain's LFP threatens to halt games over TV row. Recently
(2015) RFEF announced that they would stop the games from 16 May onwards, following a row
with Spanish Authorities where RFEF is demanding Spanish Authorities to stop interrupting in
LFP's financial issues. They said in a statement: "Regarding the decision adopted by the RFEF's
General Assembly to indefinitely suspend all football competitions at every level, the LFP states
that it has taken the corresponding legal actions in defence of the rights and legitimate interests
of the clubs, as well as the rights of the competitions that it organises and that have been grossly
affected by the aforementioned decision by the RFEF. The RFEF's decision is null and void by
law... given that the sports law and the current co-ordination agreement attributes to the LFP the
right to organise professional competitions and approve the sporting calendar of those
competitions. The LFP expressly reserves the right to take legal action to claim for the serious
damages as well as any financial, sporting, social or any other type of harm that may arise from
the RFEF's decision."[1]
