The season started November 10, 1935, and finished April 19, 1936.
Athletic Bilbao achieved their fourth title.
Hércules and Osasuna made their debuts in La Liga.
After the Spanish Civil War, Oviedo withdrew from the 1939–40 La Liga, so their place was decided to be occupied by the winner of a play-off between Athletic Madrid, now Athletic Aviación, and Osasuna; the two last qualified teams in the previous season.
