Madrid's three main football teams are Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid and Rayo Vallecano. Getafe is a city in the Madrid Metropolitan area and is therefore also included here.
When Real Madrid and Atlético coincide in the first division, the Spanish Footbal League normally ensures that they play at home on alternate weekends. Whilst the majority of games are played on Sunday, starting at 5 p.m. in winter and 7 p.m. in summer, matches are often scheduled at other times or even on Saturdays to allow teams to prepare mid-week European fixtures, or to allow for televised games. Occasionally, league games are also played mid-week.
