In its return to La Liga three years later, Sporting continued sanctioned due to a delay in payments to players during the previous season.

Sporting started the season earning a point against Real Madrid.

The club did not win its first game until the fourth round, when it defeated Deportivo La Coruña by 2–3 at Estadio Riazor with two goals of Antonio Sanabria and one of Álex Menéndez.
