Madrid - On 21 April 2026, Real Madrid welcome Deportivo Alavés to the Santiago Bernabéu at 16:30 (Brasília, UTC-3) for a La Liga fixture that could simultaneously fuel the merengues’ title chase and decide Alavés’ fight against relegation.
- In short: Disney+ and ESPN carry the clash live for viewers in Brazil.
How to watch from Brazil
The encounter will be aired on pay-TV via ESPN and streamed on Disney+, giving fans two simultaneous options. According to ESPN’s current La Liga standings, Madrid sit second with 70 points, while Alavés hover just above the drop zone with 33.
Kickoff is set precisely for 16:30, so subscribers may want to log in early to avoid server congestion often reported during marquee fixtures.
“The title pursuit and the survival battle collide under one roof,” local pundits noted in the build-up to matchday 32.
What’s at stake for each side?
Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, spearheaded by Kylian Mbappé, have averaged 2.4 goals per game this season—second only to Barcelona—making every dropped point costly in the race for the crown.
Alavés, meanwhile, have taken just eight points on the road all year. History is not on their side either: the Basque club last won at the Bernabéu in 1999, and have since conceded an average of three goals per visit.
