Atletico Madrid vs Tottenham kick-off time

Champions League - Final Stage

Riyadh Air Metropolitano

Atletico Madrid vs Tottenham will kick off on 10 Mar 2026 at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT. 

Match preview

Spurs won five matches in the league phase, including statement 2-0 victories over Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt to finish above all of PSG, Barcelona, Man City, Real Madrid and Chelsea in the 36-team table. However, things are going dismally for the Europa League holders in the Premier League. The North Londoners are just a point above the relegation zone with nine matches to play. They're winless in the EPL in 2026, their worst start to a calendar year since 1935.

Now, against all odds, they go in search of a fourth straight UCL victory and a sixth clean sheet from their last seven in the tournament. 

Finishing three points and 10 places worse off than Tottenham in the league-phase, Atleti survived a massive scare against Club Brugge, winning 7-4 in a chaotic playoff tie. Saturday's 3-2 win over Real Sociedad was their fourth consecutive win at the Wanda Metropolitano, scoring at least three times in all of those wins.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Atletico Madrid vs Tottenham 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.
4. Start Streaming: Go to your broadcaster's website and app and enjoy the game.

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.
