La Liga Betting Odds

The Campeonato Nacional de Liga de Primera División, better known as La Liga, is the top-tier professional football league in Spain. Founded in 1929, the competition has now been running for 96 years and currently features 20 teams each season. Like other major football leagues, La Liga has long been a staple for sports bettors, and interest in European soccer wagering across North America has grown rapidly over the past decade.

Over its 96-year history, 63 clubs have competed in La Liga, but only nine have managed to lift the championship trophy. Real Madrid holds the all-time record with 36 titles, while FC Barcelona follows closely with 28. The most recent champions, Barcelona, claimed the 2024–25 La Liga title, edging past Real Madrid in a close race.

The La Liga season follows a double round-robin format from August to May, with each of the 20 clubs facing every other team twice — once at home and once away. Points are awarded in the standard European system: three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. At the end of the campaign, the club with the highest point total is crowned La Liga champion.

La Liga operates a promotion and relegation system with the second division, La Liga Hypermotion. The bottom three teams in La Liga are relegated at the end of the season, while the top two clubs from La Liga Hypermotion earn automatic promotion. The third promotion spot is decided through a playoff involving the next four highest-placed teams.

As with most major leagues, oddsmakers post betting odds for every La Liga fixture throughout the season. For newcomers, it’s worth learning about the different betting markets and strategies before placing wagers, as understanding how La Liga odds work can make a big difference in long-term success.

When you start betting on La Liga odds, you’ll find many of the same wager types familiar to fans of major North American sports, though the formats can differ slightly. If you already have experience with soccer betting, the transition will feel natural — the same core markets and strategies apply.

If you’re new to sports betting altogether, your first step should be to understand how soccer odds work. Learning how to read and calculate odds will help you make more informed decisions and manage your bankroll effectively before placing any bets on La Liga matches.

Three-way Moneyline

If you’re new to La Liga betting, one of the first markets you’ll come across is the three-way moneyline, a format that’s slightly different from what you might see in most North American sports. Instead of just two outcomes — one team wins or the other does — soccer betting includes a third option: the draw.

When betting on a La Liga three-way moneyline, you’re predicting whether the home team, away team, or a draw will occur after 90 minutes of regulation time.

Here’s an example that might pop up this 2025-26 campaign:

• Sevilla -150
• Valencia +250
• Draw +300

In this case, Sevilla would be the favorites. A $150 bet on Sevilla would return $100 profit if they win. Valencia, as the underdogs, would return $250 on a $100 bet if they pull off the upset. If the match ends level after 90 minutes, bets on the draw would pay $300 on a $100 stake.

Spread Betting

What most North American bettors call the point spread is known in soccer as the goal line or handicap. Because soccer scores are low, the spread typically sits around -0.5, -1.5, or +2.5 goals.

If you see a line of Sevilla -2.5 / Valencia +2.5, it means Sevilla must win by three or more goals to cover the spread, while Valencia can win, draw, or lose by fewer than two goals to cover their side. Goal-line betting is particularly popular for matches where there’s a clear favorite — such as when Real Madrid or Barcelona face smaller clubs during the 2025–26 campaign.

Over/Under or Totals Betting

Totals betting in La Liga works much like it does in other sports, but soccer introduces the concept of quarter-goal lines, shown as 2.5, 2.75, or 3.0. Here, you’re wagering on whether the combined total number of goals scored by both teams will be over or under the sportsbook’s line.

For example, if the total for Atletico Madrid vs Real Betis is 4.5 goals, you’d bet the over if you think the game will see five or more goals scored, or the under if you expect four or fewer. If the final score is 4–3, the over wins; if it’s 4–1, the under loses.

La Liga Futures

Futures bets allow you to predict long-term outcomes — most commonly, who will win the 2025–26 La Liga title. These bets are placed well in advance and carry higher risk but also higher potential rewards.

Sportsbooks list each team with corresponding odds reflecting their chances of lifting the league trophy. For example, under new coach Xabi Alonso and with impressive reinforcements from the Premier League, some sportsbooks might have Real Madrid as favorites. Barcelona, on the other hand, might be slightly less favored as their star striker, Robert Lewandowski, gets one year closer to 40. This is all reflected in the pre-season ‘futures’ odds. The earlier in the season you place your wager, the more lucrative your potential payout — especially if your pick defies expectations and goes on to win the league.
