Barcelona and Real Madrid will have to wait until December for the first Clasico of the new season.
The fixtures for the La Liga campaign were announced on Friday, with most eyes immediately glancing down to pick out the meetings between Spain's traditional big two.
But Barca are initially scheduled to host Real Madrid at the Nou Camp as late as the first weekend of December, with Los Blancos chalked in to host the return fixture at the Bernabeu on April 23.
April looks set to be a pivotal month for Zinedine Zidane's side, with neighbours and likely title rivals Atletico Madrid also due to visit the Bernabeu on April 9.
Luis Enrique's Barca are looking to claim a third straight La Liga title and begin with Real Betis at home on the opening weekend of the season on August 20-21.
Reigning European champions Real are aiming to claim the Spanish league title for the first time since 2011-12 and start their campaign on the road at Real Sociedad.
The final round of games, pencilled in for May 21, will see Barcelona host Eibar and Real Madrid play at Malaga.
Sky Sports will show more than 300 live games from Spain across its channels and digital platforms, including both Clasicos and the Copa del Rey final.
