Promotion and relegation

Twenty teams competed in the league – the top sixteen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the Segunda División. The promoted teams were Málaga, Numancia, Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano. Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano returned to the top flight after an absence of two years while Málaga CF and Numancia were promoted for the first time. However, since CD Málaga played in the 1989–90 La Liga, the city of Málaga returned to the top fight after an absence of nine years. They replaced Extremadura, Villarreal (both teams relegated after a season's presence), Tenerife (ending their top flight spell of eleven years) and Salamanca (ending their top flight spell of two years).
