Real Madrid vs. Villarreal start time and channels

The Real Madrid vs. Villarreal match is scheduled to begin at noon ET/9 a.m. PT today (Saturday, May 22).
In the U.S., you can find the match on BeIn, while UK viewers can watch on LaLigaTV.

It's time to watch the Real Madrid vs. Villarreal live stream — and at least one thing's for certain when it comes to the La Liga title this year. A team in Madrid is taking it home. And if Real Madrid wants to retain the title instead of watching it move across town to Atletico Madrid, Los Merengues are going to have to beat Villarreal this weekend and hope for some help.

Real Madrid, last year's La Liga champs, head into the final round of matches in second place, two points behind Atletico. That means Real Madrid must beat Villarreal if it has any hope of winning the title. Then, if Atletico loses the Real Valladolid vs Atletico Madrid live stream, Real Madrid would leapfrog its rivals to finish at the top of the table.

There's one other route to the title for Real Madrid. Should Atletico and Valladolid tie while Real Madrid wins its match with Villarreal, the two Madrid clubs would finish tied on points. But Real Madrid would get the tiebreak edge thanks to head-to-head results against Atletico — it's beaten and drawn with Los Colchoneros this season.

Of course, Villarreal isn't exactly a pushover opponent. It's currently in seventh place, and a win could see Villarreal land one of La Liga's spots in next season's Europa League.

That's a lot at stake in Real Madrid vs. Villarreal. Here's where you can find a live stream of the match.
