Real Madrid and Sevilla meet at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, Oct. 18, 2026, with both clubs looking to improve their La Liga positions. For viewers seeking a Real Madrid vs. Sevilla livestream, the match is available through several broadcasters and streaming services across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CEST, which translates to 3 p.m. ET and 12 p.m. PT in North America.
Match context and recent form
Real Madrid enters the fixture in fourth place in La Liga, six points behind league leader Barcelona. José Mourinho’s side won 4-3 at Roma in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, a result built on three late goals. Kylian Mbappé scored Real Madrid’s first goal in that comeback, and the team will aim to carry that momentum into Sunday’s league match.
Sevilla sits four points behind Real Madrid in the table and has made a promising start to its campaign under head coach Luis GarcÃa Plaza. However, Sevilla was held to a 3-3 draw at Levante on Monday after conceding an equalizer in injury time. The club also received a red card late in that match, which will affect its lineup against Real Madrid.
Isaac Romero suspended for Sevilla
Sevilla forward Isaac Romero was sent off late in the draw at Levante and is suspended for the trip to the Bernabéu. His absence removes an attacking option for Luis GarcÃa Plaza as Sevilla attempts to close the gap on Real Madrid in the standings. The brief does not specify any other suspensions or injury concerns for either team.
