Real Madrid welcome Athletic Club to the Santiago Bernabéu for the final match of the 2025/26 La Liga season on May 23/24, 2026 (kick-off 12:30 AM IST). Finishing 2nd with 83 points behind champions Barcelona, Los Blancos will want to sign off with a victory in front of their fans, potentially marking Dani Carvajal’s farewell.
Athletic Club sit lower in the table and face a tough trip, though they remain competitive with players like Iñaki Williams leading the line. Real Madrid have a strong home record and will be motivated to end on a positive note.
Where to Watch: In India, stream live on FanCode and DAZN. International viewers should check local La Liga broadcasters.
