Los Blancos will be without one of their Galacticos for this Madrid derby clash.
Real Madrid will be hoping to gain ground on La Liga leaders Barcelona on Sunday as they face local rivals Atletico in this intriguing derby clash. Los Blancos find themselves in second, four points behind Barca, and come into this match without big summer signing Kylian Mbappe, who will miss the clash thanks to a thigh problem. They come up against an Atletico side currently in third place that could leapfrog Real with a win at home today. Diego Simeone’s side remain unbeaten after registering four wins and three draws, with former Chelsea star Conor Gallagher having settled well in midfield since his recent move to Spain. Atletico take on Real Madrid at the Estadio Civitas Metropolitano on Sunday, Sept. 29. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CEST local time, making it a 3 p.m. ET and 12 p.m. PT start in the US; an 8 p.m. start in the UK and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Monday. Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world. Conor Gallagher of Atletico de Madrid celebrates after scoring his team’s first goal during the LaLiga EA Sports match between Atletico de Madrid and Valencia CF at Estadio Civitas Metropolitano on September 15, 2024 in Madrid, Spain. This match is available to stream in the US via ESPN Plus, which has live English and Spanish-language broadcast rights for La Liga in the States. ESPN’s standalone streaming service costs $11 a month or $110 for an annual subscription. Read our ESPN Plus review. If you find yourself unable to view La Liga matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this. Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions. ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you’ll get three months free and save 49%. That’s the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied. Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. The great news for footy fans in the UK is that free-to-air broadcaster ITV will be airing selected LA Liga fixtures live, including this evening’s Madrid Derby .
