Having failed to live up to their sky-high expectations last weekend, Real Madrid and their Galacticos will be looking to claim their first win of the season on Sunday as they host newly promoted Real Valladolid at the Bernabéu.
Real made a bright start in their opening game of the season last Saturday against Mallorca via an early goal from Rodrygo, however Carlo Ancelotti's side were left frustrated after Vedat Muriqi's second-half equalizer saw Los Piratas claim an unexpected draw.
Los Blancos now come up against a Valladolid side that made a winning start to life back in La Liga, with new signings Raul Moro scoring the winner in a 1-0 win against Espanyol.
Real Madrid take on Real Valladolid at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, Aug 25. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m CEST local time, making it a 12 p.m. ET, 9 a.m PT start in the US, an 5 p.m. start in the UK and a 2 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Sunday.
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.

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.
La Liga broadcast rights in the UK are once again with Premier Sports, which will be showing a minimum of five live matches per week from Spain's top league on its dedicated La Liga channel. This match will be shown on Premier Sports 1.
TSN is the rights holder for live coverage of La Liga matches in the region, with select fixtures being shown on its linear channels, and a wider selection of games being shown on its TSN Plus streaming platform.
