The first Madrid Derby of the LaLiga 2025/26 season is set to light up football fans across the world as Atletico Madrid face arch-rivals Real Madrid at the iconic Metropolitano Stadium on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at 7:45 PM IST.
Under new manager Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid have shown dominant form, winning every match so far this season and leading the LaLiga points table by two points over Barcelona. Kylian Mbappe has been in sensational form since his move, while Vinicius Jr has also rediscovered his scoring touch, making Los Blancos the team to beat this season.
Atletico Madrid, however, are struggling with inconsistency, having managed only two wins in their six league games so far. Sitting in ninth place with nine points, Diego Simeone’s men will need a strong performance to keep pace with the league leaders. Their preparation time has also been shorter, having faced Rayo Vallecano midweek, while Real Madrid had an extra day of rest.
The clash between Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann promises fireworks as both sides fight for city bragging rights.
Fans in India can watch the action unfold via live streaming on FanCode and through OTTplay Premium. However, there will be no live TV telecast of the Madrid Derby in India.
