The stage is set for the first El Clásico of the season: Real Madrid will host Barcelona on Sunday, Oct. 26.
La Liga confirmed the date one month ahead of of the biggest clash in Spanish football. Barcelona and Real Madrid’s final fixture in October will come against one another at the Santiago Bernabéu.
For Xabi Alonso’s squad, the game is four days after Los Blancos face Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday, Oct. 22. The defending Spanish champions, who play Olympiacos on Tuesday, Oct. 21, get the added benefit of an extra day’s rest.
El Clásico is set to kick off at 4:15 p.m. local time. The match takes place during Spain’s daylight savings-time change, which means it will unfold at 3:15 p.m. in the UK and 11:15 a.m. ET / 8:15 a.m. PT.
