Initially, only 20 teams would play this season in Primera División, but Sevilla FC and Celta de Vigo were relegated to Segunda División B for not making their payments to the Royal Spanish Football Federation. Then, Albacete and Real Valladolid, initially relegated, were readmitted in Primera División. Later, Sevilla FC and Celta de Vigo were also readmitted and the league was expanded to 22 teams for two seasons. From this season on, wins were awarded 3 points instead of 2 (similar to other domestic leagues that had 3-1-0 team scoring point format).
