The LaLiga match between Barcelona FC and Villareal CF scheduled for December 20 at Hard Rock Stadium has been canceled, per an official release on Tuesday. The cancellation avoids a conflict for any potential first-round College Football Playoff game Miami could host the same weekend.
It was reported earlier this week that the CFP and Miami were looking at alternatives with the potential of Hard Rock Stadium being used by LaLiga. The LaLiga match at Hard Rock Stadium was originally scheduled for about a 10:15 AM Eastern Standard Time kickoff.
Miami potentially could have hosted a game with a prime time kickoff on the same day.
