LaLiga is exploring the possibility of relocating the Barcelona vs. Atlético Madrid fixture of the nineteenth matchday to Miami on December 21 or 22, as reported by 'El País' and confirmed by EFE. The idea of playing a league match outside of Spain has previously been attempted in 2018 with a Barcelona-Girona clash, which faced opposition from FIFA, UEFA, and the Spanish Football Federation. These governing bodies would need to approve the potential move of the Barcelona-Atlético match to the United States.

'Relevent,' an American sports events organization, is in charge of negotiations to stage the Barcelona vs. Atlético Madrid match in Miami. However, the progression of the proposal to play in the U.S. is currently in its early stages.
