No LaLiga fixtures were shown on CCTV during Friday or Saturday's schedule, while the broadcaster's listings also omitted the matches due to take place on Sunday and Monday. The suspension began on October 26, after comments made by the Real Madrid forward triggered a backlash in China.
The affected fixtures included Villarreal against Espanyol, Levante versus Atlético Madrid, Rayo Vallecano against Celta Vigo, Real Betis versus Málaga and Barcelona's meeting with Alavés. Sunday's programme, including Racing Santander against Real Madrid, was also absent from CCTV's schedule.
The broadcaster had previously shown one or two LaLiga matches per round. Some earlier games remain available through its mobile application, with Celta's match against Betis on October 25 the most recent listed before the suspension.
The impact has extended beyond live television coverage. Real Madrid matches from the current season and the 2025-26 campaign were also missing from CCTV's archive.
LaLiga's digital partner in China, Migu, continued to offer almost all of the weekend's scheduled fixtures. However, the Racing-Real Madrid match was absent from its programme, and previous Madrid games from August and September were also unavailable, despite other matches remaining accessible in full or as highlights.
The controversy began after Mbappé discussed one of his favourite internet memes, which superimposed his face onto the image of a Chinese dictator. He did not explicitly name Mao, but the historical leader was recognisable in the montage.
The comments prompted several Chinese companies to end commercial agreements connected to the player, while CCTV's parent organisation, China Media Group, moved to suspend LaLiga broadcasts.
Mbappé subsequently apologised in French, Chinese and English. LaLiga president Javier Tebas also contacted China Media Group, while Real Madrid sent a letter expressing respect for China and its people.
China Media Group confirmed it had received the communication but did not announce when coverage would resume or whether the apologies were sufficient to end the suspension.
The situation therefore remains unresolved, with the absence of Real Madrid fixtures from Migu's schedule suggesting the consequences may extend beyond CCTV's decision to stop showing the Spanish league.
