Madrid Derby 2024

Real Madrid is gearing up to face Atletico Madrid in what promises to be a tantalizing La Liga derby match. Scheduled for Sunday, September 29, the clash takes place at Madrid’s Estadio Civitas Metropolitano, with Real Madrid eager to close the gap on La Liga leaders Barcelona.

Los Blancos currently trail Barcelona by four points and will notably be without their summer acquisition, Kylian Mbappe, due to a thigh injury. Despite this setback, manager Carlo Ancelotti is confident in his team’s performance, having maintained an unbeaten streak of 33 games across La Liga and the Champions League. “It’s going to be a spectacle,” Ancelotti commented, highlighting the fierce rivalry between the clubs.

Atletico Madrid, managed by Diego Simeone, holds the third position and remains unbeaten this season with four wins and three draws. New signing Conor Gallagher from Chelsea has been impressive in the midfield, adding strength to their lineup. Atletico hopes to leapfrog Real Madrid with a victory on their home ground.

The match is set for kickoff at 9 p.m. CEST, which translates to 3 p.m. ET in the United States, 8 p.m. in the United Kingdom, and 5 a.m. AEST in Australia. In the United States, fans can stream the game on ESPN Plus, available for $11 per month or $110 annually. Meanwhile, in the UK, ITV will broadcast the game, offering free streaming through their ITVX service. Premier Sports also holds rights to La Liga matches, requiring a subscription of £8 per month for their dedicated La Liga channel.

As always, viewers traveling abroad or experiencing local broadcasting restrictions may consider using a virtual private network (VPN) service. ExpressVPN, a popular choice, is recommended for secure streaming, providing an option to bypass territorial restrictions.

The global enthusiasm for the Madrid Derby highlights its stature as one of football’s fiercest rivalries, with both teams not only vying for local pride but also critical points in the tight La Liga race.
