The high-stakes drama of Spain's 95th Segunda División season
In short: In the 2025–26 LALIGA HYPERMOTION, every match carries immense weight. With 22 teams fighting for promotion to the top flight or survival against relegation, the season is a marathon of tension that stretches from mid-August through the intense summer play-offs.
The 2025–26 season of the Segunda División, commercially known as LALIGA HYPERMOTION, represents the 95th edition of Spain's second tier. The campaign is a grueling test of consistency, beginning on 15 August 2025 and concluding its regular season on 31 May 2026. However, the drama does not end with the final regular-season match; the promotion play-offs continue until 20 June 2026 to determine the final participants moving up to La Liga. The season's opening goal was scored by Curro Sánchez for Burgos. Meanwhile, Jordi Escobar will provide the final goal of the campaign.
The composition of the league is a complex mix of continuity and fresh arrivals. The 22 teams competing in this cycle include 15 clubs that remained from the 2024–25 season. They are joined by three sides relegated from the top-flight La Liga and four teams promoted from the 2024–25 Primera Federación. This constant turnover ensures that the competitive landscape is perpetually shifting. The league features a diverse array of clubs, including returning sides like Real Oviedo. This season also sees the presence of reserve teams like Real Sociedad B.
Individual achievements are also tracked, most notably via the Zamora Trophy. Awarded by the newspaper Marca, this honor is presented to the goalkeeper who maintains the lowest goals-to-games ratio. To qualify for this recognition, a goalkeeper must have played in at least 28 matches, with each appearance lasting 60 minutes or more. This metric highlights the defensive excellence required to navigate the intense pressures of the division.
