Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to evaluate the current regulations of the Spanish First Division, LaLiga / Primera División, as of 16 February 2026, focusing primarily on its main objectives, indicators, ratios, and the possibilities for intervention in the event of non-compliance with the standards set by LaLiga. LaLiga’s regulations are among the most restrictive and innovative legal and financial frameworks in the world of professional football, effectively preventing financial manipulation and mismanagement by participating entities. In addition to presenting the primary procedures that clubs/SADs – Sports Limited Companies – must follow, the article provides examples to illustrate the more complex aspects of LaLiga’s financial regulations. For the purposes of this research, the legal-dogmatic method was employed, and the analysis primarily covers LaLiga’s legal acts regarding the Squad Cost Limit and relevant subject literature.
