How to Watch El Clásico (Real Madrid vs Barcelona) in the US

El Clásico — Real Madrid against Barcelona — is the biggest club fixture in world football, and it comes around at least twice a season in La Liga. Here's where to watch it in the US.

Where to watch

La Liga is an ESPN property in the US, so El Clásico streams on ESPN+, ESPN's subscription service. As one of the season's marquee matches, it's also among the fixtures most likely to be given a linear-TV window on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC — and an ABC broadcast would be free over the air.

In Spanish

Spanish-language coverage is on ESPN Deportes and on ESPN+.
