Matchday 30 in la Liga is in danger of being suspended due to a conflict in Spain over television rights. FC Barcelona’s match against Villarreal and Real Madrid’s visit from Sporting Gijon are both unlikely to be played on schedule if the current climate holds.

The impetus for the strike, which would cancel all the matches on April 2 and 3, centers around a conflict between the Spanish Football League and the Spanish government over TV broadcast rights. LFP president Jose Luis Astiazaran noted on Friday that there is “very little chance” of avoiding the strike, claiming that “no major progress” had come out of negotiations with the government. A Madrid court will rule formally on the issue on March 29.

If the strike does proceed as planned, rescheduling the cancelled fixtures may well prove to be awkward. At this point, given an already congested calendar, the earliest window to play the games would be June 11-12, a full three weeks after the normal end of the Primera season in Spain.
