Champions Barca were set to face Villarreal in the United States on December 20, which would have been the first European league fixture to be played abroad.
The match will now be held at Villarreal’s Estadio de la Ceramica home as normal.
La Liga said their promoter for the match decided to cancel the organization of the event because of “uncertainty generated in Spain in recent weeks.”
