The 2011–12 La Liga season (known as the Liga BBVA for sponsorship reasons) is the 81st since its establishment. Barcelona are the defending champions, having won their 21st La Liga title in the previous season for the third time in a row. The campaign began on 27 August 2011, and will end on 13 May 2012. The season was scheduled to start on 20 August 2011, but was delayed due to a strike called by the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE).[7]

Teams

Deportivo La Coruña, Hércules CF from Alicante and UD Almería were relegated to the 2011–12 Segunda División after finishing in the bottom three spots of the table at the end of the 2010–11 season. Deportivo were relegated to the Segunda División after twenty seasons of continuous membership in the top football league of Spain, while Almería ended a four-year tenure in La Liga and Hércules made their immediate return to the second level.

The three relegated teams were replaced by three 2010–11 Segunda División sides. Champions Betis, who terminated their second-level status after two years, runners-up Rayo Vallecano, who returned to the top flight after eight seasons at lower levels, earned direct promotion.

The third promoted team was decided in the promotion play-offs where Granada returned to the league for the first time in 35 years, having spent 26 of them in Segunda División B and Tercera División.

Fair Play award

This award is given annually since 1999 to the team with the best fair play during the season. This ranking takes into account aspects[39] such as cards, suspension of matches, audience behaviour and other penalties. This section not only aims to know this aspect, but also serves to break the tie in teams that are tied in all the other rules: points, head-to-head, goal difference and goals scored.
