La Liga is still exploring plans to stage the league match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the United States just before Christmas.Spanish top-flight sources first indicated a desire to take the match to Miami back in August and the league remains keen to press ahead.The game is scheduled for matchday 18, where all matches are currently set for 22 December ahead of television picks, but will require FIFA approval.FIFA said in May it would set up a working group to look at a revised legal framework for taking domestic league matches overseas, but has not provided any public updates since.Football's world governing body first said it was considering changing its authorisation rules on such matches following a settlement it agreed with Relevent Sports in a court case in the United States in April.Relevent has been seeking to host competitive league games in the US, including La Liga matches.On the back of the settlement, La Liga president Javier Tebas said he hoped to be able to take matches to the US for the 2025-26 season but the league is understood to still be working on making the Barcelona-Atletico match happen this season.
