Real Madrid host Alavés on Tuesday, April 21, at the Estadio Bernabéu, with kickoff set for 9:30 p.m. CET in Madrid. For viewers in the United States and Canada, that is 3:30 p.m. ET and 12:30 p.m. PT, while the match starts at 8:30 p.m. BST in the UK and 5:30 a.m. AEST on Wednesday morning in Australia.
In the US, the match will stream on Select, which carries live English and Spanish-language La Liga broadcasts and costs $13 a month. Unlimited is priced at $30 a month. In the UK, Premier Sports 1 will show the match exclusively, with Premier Sports Player also carrying it. A dedicated Premier Sports La Liga channel costs £8 a month, while a full Premier Sports subscription costs £10 per month for Sky and Virgin TV customers and £18 a month through Prime Video as an add-on. In Canada, TSN 3 will show the match and TSN Plus will also carry it for CA$8 a month.
The timing matters because Real Madrid arrive with only a mathematical chance of winning the title after four La Liga games without a win, and they were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by Bayern Munich last week. Barcelona have opened a nine-point lead at the top of the table, leaving little room for error in front of a home crowd that will expect a response. Alavés, meanwhile, sit in 17th spot, one point above the relegation zone, so the stakes run in opposite directions.
Kylian Mbappé leads the La Liga scoring charts with 23 goals, two ahead of Vedat Muriqi, adding another layer to a night that is about more than where to watch Real Madrid vs Deportivo Alavés. Premier Sports, which is showing 340 live Spanish top-flight matches this season in the UK, has made the fixture part of its wider league package, but the bigger story is simple: Madrid need points, Alavés need distance from the bottom, and both needs land on the same pitch in the same evening.
