The 2025/26 La Liga season is set to be an intriguing one as a hugely gifted young Barcelona side attempts to hold off bitter rivals Real Madrid and land a 29th league title. If you’re a Spanish soccer fan wondering how you can watch games throughout the season, then we’ve got you covered with our helpful guide below.

Last season was a memorable one for Barca fans as Hansi Flick’s side steamrolled the competition. Playing an entertaining brand of attacking football, Barcelona were simply unstoppable thanks to the likes of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. That potent attack has been strengthened with the addition of Marcus Rashford, while there’s a hugely exciting crop of young players ready to showcase their talent.
Bitter rivals Real Madrid have had a summer refresh, with former player Xabi Alonso taking over as manager and bringing in a host of signings. Similarly, Atletico Madrid have handed funds to manager Diego Simeone and there is growing belief his side can once again challenge for the title.
While the top three spots will likely go to these giants, the rest of the league is harder to predict. There’s still plenty of talent, especially in the dugout, with Villarreal boss Marcelino considered one of the best in Europe, while Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde is a shrewd operator who led his side to fourth last season.
You won’t want to miss any of the action, so here’s how to watch 2025/26 La Liga live streams online and from anywhere.
Watch La Liga from anywhere in the world
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching La Liga on your usual subscription?
You can still watch the 2025/26 La Liga live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Cord-cutters can stream ESPN+ via Sling TV, Fubo, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV. We believe Sling (from $45.99/month) is the best choice for La Liga fanatics as it provides great-value live coverage for viewers who plan to watch Spanish soccer.
