Defending Spanish champions Barcelona will host Real Madrid on October 28 in the first Clasico of the 2018/19 season, the Spanish football federation said Tuesday.

The season opens on the weekend of August 18-19, and ends on May 18-19.

The Spanish capital’s derbies will be at Real’s Santiago Bernabeu on September 30 and at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano on February 10.

The Copa del Rey final will be held on May 25 at a yet-to-be-determined stadium, the federation said.
