FC Barcelona would move to Mallorca if their stadium was unavailable
Real Madrid have already struck an agreement with Valladolid to move there and Atletico with Real Sociedad
This season, due to the COVID-19 situation in Spain, LaLiga and LaLiga Smartbank clubs must have an alternative stadium in case the health service prohibits the opening of their home stadium. If the city of Barcelona or Madrid were put on a strict lockdown, the teams from those regions are forced to nominate a new base from a different region.
If that alternative region is also under lockdown, then LaLiga would step in and recommend a new location. The limit for providing an alternative 'home' stadium is the 18th of September. This means that by this weekend, every first and second division club must have presented a secondary home.
Various clubs have already secured new venues in case of a lockdown. Barça have chosen Mallorca as their alternate base if they aren't allowed to play at the Camp Nou. Real Madrid have an agreement in place with Valladolid whilst Atletico Madrid would share Real Madrid's stadium in San Sebastian.
LaLiga will reveal the full list of alternative stadiums tomorrow.
