All La Liga players have been asked to stay at home and self isolate amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed 3,647 people in Spain. Much of Spain is on lockdown as the virus spreads rapidly in the country. It is soon expected to overtake Italy as the heart of the European outbreak of COVID-19.

The league has also been suspended indefinitely due to a number of players testing positive for the virus, most notably five Valencia CF stars, including former Manchester City defender Elaquim Mangala.
