Like many other leagues in continental Europe, the "Liga ASOBAL" takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One unusual feature of the league is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order —that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the stadiums used. Each victory adds 2 points to the team in the league ranking. Each drawn adds 1 point.head-to-head. At the end of the league, the winner is: Champions by year. All-time Liga ASOBAL table.
