How to Watch Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid on TV, Live Stream

The biggest match of the early 2025–26 La Liga season comes on Saturday when Real Madrid face off with Atlético Madrid.

The bitter rivals have clashed 240 times throughout history, with Real Madrid most recently eliminating Atlético Madrid from the Champions League last season. Los Colchoneros will be eager for revenge against their bitter rivals, especially given the slow start to their 2025–26 campaign.

Los Blancos, meanwhile, are seeking their first La Liga victory over Diego Simeone’s men since 2022. Xabi Alonso will hope to lead his former club to three points in his first Madrid derby on the touchline to continue Real Madrid’s perfect start to the season.

Here’s how you can watch Real Madrid’s upcoming clash with Atlético Madrid on TV and live stream.
