Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona kicks off on 7 Mar at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT.

Match preview

Athletic head into Saturday’s meeting with Barcelona still stinging from their Copa del Rey exit. A 1-0 defeat to Real Sociedad in midweek sealed a 2-0 aggregate loss in the semi‑finals, cutting short their cup run. That leaves Ernesto Valverde’s men with only La Liga to focus on, though recent form has been encouraging: ten points from their last four league games, including wins over Levante, Real Oviedo and Elche, before sharing the spoils with Rayo Vallecano. Furthermore, San Mamés has been a stronghold, 23 points from 13 home fixtures, and they’ll be hoping to make that count against a Barcelona side boasting the second‑best away record in the league, despite four defeats on the road.

Barca also had cup disappointment this week. Hansi Flick’s team thrashed Atlético Madrid 3-0 in their semi‑final second leg, but the damage from a 4-0 first‑leg defeat meant they fell short of the final. In the league, though, they bounced back nicely, beating Villarreal and Levante after a slip against Girona in February. Flick’s men remain top of the table ahead of Real Madrid.

Key stats & injury news

Athletic will be without several familiar faces again this weekend. Yeray Álvarez is serving a suspension, while Nico Williams is sidelined with a groin issue. Benat Prados, Unai Egiluz, and Maroan Sannadi are all nursing knee problems, so none of them will feature against Barcelona.

On the visitors’ side, there’s some good news: Robert Lewandowski has returned to training after fracturing his eye socket, and there’s a chance he could be involved in this match. Even so, Barça still have a lengthy injury list. Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Alejandro Balde, Frenkie de Jong, and Gavi are all ruled out with various knocks.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
