The 1999–2000 La Liga season, the 69th since its establishment. It began on 21 August 1999, and concluded on 20 May 2000. Deportivo La Coruña won a first La Liga title with 69 points, the lowest for a champion since the three points for a win rule was introduced in 1995.[7]

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).
