Broadcast info
Who's playing? Real Sociedad and Real Madrid will play one of the most interesting matches of La Liga's opening weekend. The hosts added a few key names to their lineup, and even managed to keep most of their top-caliber players around.
On the other side of the pitch, Zinedine Zidane's first full season as Los Blancos' coach will have to start without Cristiano Ronaldo, since the player is still recovering from a knee injury picked up in the UEFA Euro final. With that in mind, Gareth Bale and the recently re-signed Alvaro Morata are expected to lead the team's attack, with the hopes of winning their first three points of the competition.
What time? Sunday, August 21, at 11:15 PDT/ 13:15 CDT/ 14:15 EDT/ 18:15 GMT/ 19:15 BST/ 20:15 CEST.
What stadium? Anoeta stadium will host the first La Liga match for Real Sociedad and Real Madrid. The venue, located in the city of San Sebastián, can accomodate up to 32,000 fans.
