Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid will kick off on 6 Mar 2026 at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT.

Match preview

Celta have moved into La Liga’s top six thanks to two consecutive wins, beating Mallorca and Girona. For the first time since 2015-16, they have reached the 40-point mark after 26 league outings. Despite claiming more La Liga points on their travels (23) than at home (17) this term, 12 of those home points have come across their last five league games. It's a big week for Celta, facing Madrid here and then Lyon in the Europa League Round of 16Getty Images

Madrid lost to Getafe last time out, a result leaving them four points adrift of leaders Barcelona. It's now back-to-back league defeats for Los Blancos for the first time since May 2019.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.

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.
