Real Madrid will host Barcelona in La Liga on the weekend of November 8 and will travel to Catalunya for the return clash on April 3.
The fixtures for the 2015-16 Primera Division season were released on Tuesday, with the Clasico dates scheduled for rounds 12 and 31 of the new campaign.
Both sides won their respective home fixture last term, with Madrid celebrating a 3-1 win at the Bernabeu before a pivotal 2-1 reverse at Camp Nou that played a key role in Barca going on to beat their great rivals to top spot.
The Blaugrana will begin the defence of their title with a trip to Athletic Bilbao on the weekend of August 23, with Madrid travelling to newly-promoted Sporting Gijon. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, host another new Liga outfit in Las Palmas.
Since Barca have not been allowed to register new signings Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan due to their Fifa-imposed, two-window transfer ban, the former Sevilla midfielder and ex-Atletico attacker will not have to wait until January's visit to Espanyol for their first competitive fixture in a Blaugrana shirt.
The Catalans finish their campaign on May 15 with a home game against Eibar, will Madrid face a visit to Deportivo La Coruna.
