La Liga Announces Clearance to Resume Season After June 8 Amid COVID-19

La Liga announced Saturday that it has been given clearance to resume the season as soon as June 8.

Per the league's official announcement, the Spanish government gave the go-ahead to resume play following guidelines from the Ministry of Health.

Per ESPN's Samuel Marsden, the "likely" return date for La Liga will be June 12 or 19 with an official confirmation from president Javier Tebas potentially coming on Sunday.

La Liga suspended play on March 12, at the time announcing the hiatus would last for a minimum of two weeks. That decision came after Real Madrid chose to self-isolate after a member of the basketball team tested positive for COVID-19.
