La Liga: Premier Sports lands UK TV rights with Real Madrid vs Barcelona set to return to British TV

La Liga will return to UK television screens this weekend after Premier Sports struck a deal to end Eleven Sports’ exclusive rights to the top tier in Spain. 

The coverage joins Serie A in moving to the channel, which can be viewed on Sky, Virgin and online. 

Fans will now be able to watch La Liga on TV, including el clasico on March 2 as Real Madrid host Barcelona

Premier Sports will also have weekly magazine programs La Liga World and the La Liga Show, with highlights from every game also available. 

Spanish football fans will also have access on Premier Sports to PRO14 rugby, Serie A, the biggest Scottish Cup games and NHL.

Barcelona are on course to retain their title, with a seven-point lead at the top ahead of Atletico Madrid. 

Real Madrid are two points further back following their recent setback at home to Girona. 

The loss makes the clasico even more important, with defeat or even a draw likely to end their hopes of winning only their second title in seven years.
