Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s match, including if fans in the UK can watch it on TV. The Spanish Super Cup final is taking place not in Spain but at the King Abdullah Sports City stadium in Saudi Arabia. Kick-off is at 7pm UK time on Sunday, January 12. If the score is level at full-time, the match will be decided by a penalty shootout.
No. Sadly, the Spanish Super Cup has not been picked up by a British broadcaster. As a result, UK fans will not be able to watch El Clasico on TV or even stream the game online. For those watching in Spain, Movistar Plus will broadcast the match. Real captain Luka Modric will miss the big clash through illness, as will injured defenders Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal.
