La Liga’s 2025/26 season launches with a tech‑heavy start, featuring the fully deployed HyperMotion tracking system, a new EA Sports partnership, and a tightly contested league table after twelve matches. Barcelona leads the title race, Real Madrid trails by a point, while Granada surprises in the relegation fight. Atletico Madrid remains unbeaten in five games, sitting third, and fans can now follow every action via real‑time stats on mobile and in‑game experiences.
Digital Overhaul on the Pitch
HyperMotion Data Platform
HyperMotion combines 360‑degree video with player‑tracking sensors to deliver real‑time metrics such as expected goals (xG), sprint distances and pass‑completion heat maps. The system powers a live dashboard that fans can access on smartphones, providing deeper insight into each match as it unfolds.
Partnership with EA Sports
The league’s data integration with the upcoming FIFA video‑game release creates a more authentic virtual experience. Players can step onto a digital version of the pitch that mirrors the real‑world performance captured by HyperMotion.
