La Liga — the Spanish Primera División — is one of Europe's Big Five football leagues and home to some of the most storied clubs in football history. Real Madrid (14-time UEFA Champions League winners) and FC Barcelona (European Cup 5-time winners) have shaped the history of world football, and their head-to-head matches — El Clásico — are among the most-watched sporting events globally.
In the USA, ESPN holds broadcast rights to La Liga, distributing matches across ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Deportes. The US Hispanic population has a particularly strong following of Spanish football, making La Liga one of the top internationally followed football leagues in the USA alongside the Premier League.
