Azulmarino Palma and Valencia Basket will face off in a matchup featuring Movistar+ cameras in their debut broadcast of the season. A high-profile opening for the Balearic team, who will take on the current league and Super Cup champions.
Following the LF Endesa Super Cup celebration in Torrejón de Ardoz, where Valencia Basket claimed their fourth title, the LF Endesa regular season will kick off this weekend with its opening matchday.
Innova-TSN Leganés and Hozono Global Jairis will open the competition. Both teams already faced each other this season in the Super Cup semifinals. Javi Fort's squad defeated Alcantarilla, who now arrive at Pabellón Europa seeking revenge. Aminata Sangaré will be one of the standout players for the Leganés squad after winning Super Cup MVP.
Shortly after, at 18:00h, coaching debuts in the LF Endesa. Raquel Romo will make her debut on the Meins Avenida bench and Pepe Vázquez (former Salamanca coach) will do the same with Cadí La Seu. The Lleida team visits Salamanca with a revamped roster featuring signings Lina Sontag and Marina Aviñoa. At the same time, Movistar Estudiantes will host Spar Girona at Magariños. Roberto Íñiguez's squad will look to start the competition on the right foot. Meanwhile, Isaac Fernández will make his debut leading Women in Black after an impressive preseason. Juana Camilión switches teams in a special matchup for her, after three seasons with the university club.
Half an hour later, at 18:30h, newly promoted Azulmarino Palma will make their LF Endesa debut against the defending league and Super Cup champion, Valencia Basket. Javier Torralba had a dream debut last weekend leading the Valencia squad, winning the Super Cup and claiming the season's first title. Now, the Valencian team faces a new challenge against Azulmarino Palma, who arrive with a completely revamped roster featuring well-known competition names like Alba Torrens, Klara Holm, Alima Dembélé, and Blanca Millán. Additionally, the matchup will have special significance for both Alba Torrens and Keyla Alexander, who will face their former team in a game that promises great entertainment.
Saturday's matchday will close with another newly promoted side, Celta Femxa Zorka, facing Inversus Gernika Bizkaia. The Galician team returns to the top tier after a season in LF Challenge, once again with Cristina Cantero leading the squad. The Basque team enters the new season with changes on the bench, with Franky García as the new coach, and several reinforcements in their roster.
Sunday will be the turn of Durán Maquinaria Ensino and Mirai Euskotren (12:00h). The Basque squad, with Azu Muguruza on the bench, face their fourteenth season in the top tier, while the Galician team, led by Suso Garrido, will play their twentieth campaign in the elite. Both teams arrive looking to build on the good work from last season and start the new campaign with positive momentum.
Next, at 12:15h, Príncipe Felipe will host the matchup between Casademont Zaragoza and Impulso 360 Estepona.
