German Bundesliga

This is the first of the major football leagues to resume its championship. After Angela Merkel's approval, it was decided that the first matches will take place on May 16. Upon resumption, teams will have the opportunity to make 5 substitutions instead of 3, and they will also be allowed to have a longer bench (up to 12 players).

Spanish La Liga

So far, there is no specific date set for the season to resume. However, league president Javier Tebas announced that the season could be resumed on June 12. It is likely that this date may be slightly postponed as players will need time to prepare. Once the season resumes, two rounds will be played per week.
