Attention all football enthusiasts! The upcoming schedule for Real Madrid CF is packed with thrilling matchups that promise to keep fans on the edge of their seats. From La Liga clashes to Copa del Rey and Champions League encounters, the team’s calendar is a rollercoaster of excitement. But here’s where it gets controversial: with back-to-back games against fierce rivals like Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla, can the squad maintain their momentum? Let’s dive into the details.
Kicking off the action, Real Madrid faces Alavés on Sunday, December 14, at 21:00 in the Estadio de Mendizorroza for La Liga’s Matchday 16, broadcast on Orange TV and Dazn. Just three days later, on Wednesday, December 17, at 21:00, they travel to Estadio El Prado to battle Talavera in the Copa del Rey Round of 32, airing on La 1. And this is the part most people miss: the team then returns home to the Bernabéu for a La Liga showdown against Sevilla on Saturday, December 20, at 21:00, available on Orange TV, Movistar LaLiga, and Movistar Plus+.
The new year begins with a La Liga fixture against Real Betis on Sunday, January 4, at 16:15 at the Bernabéu, streamed on Orange TV and Dazn. But the real test comes on Thursday, January 8, at 20:00 Spanish time (22:00 local), when Real Madrid takes on Atlético de Madrid in the Supercopa de España Semifinal at the Alinma Bank Stadium in King Abdullah Sport City. Bold prediction: This match could be a game-changer for the season’s trajectory.
The schedule continues with a La Liga clash against Levante on January 18 (date and time TBC) at the Bernabéu, followed by a Champions League Group Stage Matchday 7 encounter against Mónaco on Tuesday, January 20, at 21:00, also at the Bernabéu, on Orange TV and Movistar Liga de Campeones. Away games against Villarreal on January 25 (TBC) at the Estadio de la Cerámica and Benfica on Wednesday, January 28, at 21:00 at the Estádio da Luz in the Champions League will test the team’s resilience.
February brings more La Liga action, starting with Rayo Vallecano on February 1 (TBC) at the Bernabéu, followed by trips to Valencia on February 8 (TBC) at the Estadio de Mestalla, Real Sociedad on February 15 (TBC) back at the Bernabéu, and Osasuna on February 22 (TBC) at the Estadio El Sadar.
