Lineker, who signed a deal to remain with the BBC until 2025 last year, will also front a new ITV gameshow called Sitting on a Fortune.
Atletico Madrid won La Liga last season and will be looking to defend their title when the next season starts on Friday, 13 August.
LaLigaTV is an English subscription TV channel that broadcasts live La Liga football games from Spain to the UK and Ireland.
