Kick off times in the Spanish Primera reflects the pecking order of clubs. The least favoured clubs tend to begin their matches at five on Sunday unless they are playing one of the big teams in which case they are given a slot at seven or eight on either Saturday or Sunday. The most favoured slot is tapas time at nine or ten in the evening which is when you are most likely to see Real Madrid or Barcelona. However, the Spanish league is considering moving some clashes to an Asia-friendly 3 p.m.

However, the Spanish league is considering moving some clashes to an Asia-friendly 3 p.m. Real Madrid are said to be behind the idea with their interest in marketing opportunities in Asia. However, Spanish fans are not happy about the plan. There are also concerns that it would be commercial suicide to go head-to-head with the Premier League in the Far East market.
