Where to watch La Liga: Live stream 2025-2026 season from anywhere
Barcelona are the reigning champions, having wrestled the La Liga Trophy back from their fierce rivals in white last season. Coach Hansi Flick brought back the good times to Catalonia and their temporary home of the Estadi Olímpic, getting the best out of his potent attacking trio, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and then-17-year-old Lamine Yamal. Los Blancos fans will be hoping that the much-anticipated arrival of Xabi Alonso in the Real dugout will do likewise. He certainly has enough talent on his hands to return success to the Santiago Bernabéu, bolstering Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Jude Bellingham with incoming personnel such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Álvaro Carreras, and Dean Huijsen.
While the title is expected to be played out between Spain's two most storied sides once again, the likes of Atlético Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, and Villarreal will be looking to stop them. Diego Simeone in particular has spent big (around €175 million) over the summer, bringing in Álex Baena, Giacomo Raspadori, and Johnny Cardoso among others to Estadio Metropolitano. Elsewhere, there's a return to the top flight for Real Oviedo after a quarter of a century out of La Liga and new managers at Osasuna, Real Sociedad, and Sevilla.
With much of the pre-season chatter dedicated to the controversy surrounding a potential fixture between Barcelona and Villarreal in the USA, it's time for the on-pitch business to start. Keep reading to discover how to watch La Liga live streams no matter where you are in the world.

How to watch La Liga from anywhere
If you're overseas and try to watch La Liga like you normally would in the US or UK, you'll soon find that your stream is blocked due to geographical restrictions. It's annoying if you already pay for a service but just happen to be on holiday when El Clásico is on. Fortunately, help is at hand in the form of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
VPNs, such as the market-leading NordVPN, are a workaround for such geo-blocking, as they're able to spoof your IP address so that your laptop, mobile, or streaming device thinks it's back in your home country. As you'll see from our NordVPN review, it's fantastic at getting around these restrictions and is genuinely very easy to use. Give it a try for free with NordVPN's 30-day money-back guarantee.
How to use a VPN
Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
Install it on the device you're using to watch.
Turn it on and set it to the location of your streaming service.
Navigate to your streaming service and create an account if necessary.
Enjoy the soccer.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.

Villarreal offer ‘short of expectations' for Chelsea defender Renato Veiga — report
Villarreal were linked with unwanted Chelsea defender Axel Disasi earlier this summer, and though nothing came of that, they are still in need of reinforcements at the position and have thus switched their target to unwanted Chelsea defender Renato Veiga instead — and according to Fabrizio Romano, have even made an official play for their 'dream target'. Unfortunately, back in the real world, it sounds like the financial realities of the situation remain the same as before. The La Liga side were not willing or able to spend €30m on Disasi — their record incoming transfer is barely over €20m — and Chelsea are said to be wanting even more for Veiga (€40?!). Whatever their bid is now, it's fallen short of our 'expectations'. This is the trouble in trying to do business outside of England (or Saudi Arabia) or with teams that are not among the European elite. The Premier League (top to bottom) are so far above of most other leagues financially that it becomes an exercise in futility. The levels of money are simply different, even if they are willing to spend. Villarreal finished fifth last season, but were still able to nab a Champions League spot (Spain, like England, get an extra spot thanks to their UEFA coefficient). So perhaps that little boost in income can be turned into a bit of extra cash for Veiga?

WATCH: Santi Cazorla fulfils boyhood dream of making La Liga debut for Real Oviedo at 40
Few could have imagined that Santi Cazorla would ever play for boyhood club Real Oviedo when he departed Villarreal at the age of 35 to join Al-Sadd in Qatar. Two years ago he did make it back to Asturias, and on Friday night, Cazorla fulfilled his boyhood dream of wearing an Oviedo shirt in the first division. As a teenager, Cazorla was told by Oviedo that they could not keep him on as a teenager, forcing him to leave the club he grew up supporting. He would end up joining Villarreal, and come through the system to become a key player for the Yellow Submarine as they finished third in La Liga. As Cazorla went onto Champions League heights at Malaga and then Arsenal, Oviedo battled against administration, being forced to crowdfund in order to stay afloat, something Cazorla was a part of. When Cazorla returned in 2023, he took the minimum salary possible, and had it written into his deal that 10% of proceeds from his shirt sales would go to the Oviedo academy. Villarreal pay homage to Cazorla Image via EFE After leaving Arsenal and his injury issues behind him, Cazorla returned to La Ceramica, the place he has spent more time than anywhere else, and played more games for. Cazorla was seen out on the pitch before Villarreal clashed with Oviedo speaking with former manager Marcelino Garcia Toral, and before the kick-off, former teammate Marcos Senna presented him with a tribute shirt with the number 343 – the number of games he played for the club. Cazorla makes Real Oviedo debut in La Liga As the game faded from Oviedo's sight, Cazorla found his own vision cloudy. The 40-year-old looked to be welling up on the touchline as he readied himself to come on with six minutes to go. Entering the pitch to applause from the entire ground, Cazorla finally fulfilled his boyhood dream of playing for Oviedo in La Liga, having helped drag them back up through the play-offs after 24 years absence.

"We are professionals"- Villarreal player defends Barcelona match in Miami
"We are professionals"- Villarreal player defends Barcelona match in Miami originally appeared on The Sporting News The new La Liga season has begun, and the first two games have already been played. Girona suffered a 3-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano at home, while Villarreal won 2-0 against the promoted side Real Oviedo. Villarreal has become unpopular among many football fans due to the proposed La Liga being played in Miami, which involves them against FC Barcelona. The Villarreal president is open to the game being played abroad despite heavy criticism from many football fans. After Villarreal's first game of the 2025-26 La Liga season, defender Rafa Marin was asked about the proposed match against Barca in Miami that is set to be scheduled for December. The game is not officially planned to be played in the U.S., as approval from FIFA and UEFA is needed. Marin gave an unpopular response after being asked if he and the rest of the Villarreal players were willing to play the match in the United States. In an interview with El Larguero, Marin says what the players will do if the proposed game is approved. Rafa Marin: 'The match in Miami? We are professionals. We play wherever LaLiga tells us, and that's what we have to do. We have to focus on winning matches and doing it like we did today.' La Liga president Javier Tebas did not shy away when asked about the proposed match in the U.S. The president intends to have a La Liga game being played abroad for the first time ever later this year. Javier Tebas: 'I am convinced that this will happen this season. The clubs themselves requested to play this match, and now we must go through UEFA and FIFA." A decision on whether the match between Villarreal and FC Barcelona in the U.S. is expected to be announced soon. Many fans are unsure whether the game will happen abroad, with some La Liga coaches and Real Madrid expressing to be against the idea.
