Barcelona vs Espanyol kick-off time
Barcelona vs Espanyol kicks off on 11 Apr at 12:30 EST and 17:30 GMT.
Match preview
Barcelona head into Saturday’s Catalan derby still dealing with the fallout from a 2-0 loss to Atlético Madrid in the first-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal. That result leaves Hansi Flick’s side with plenty of work to do if they want to reach the semifinals, though for now their attention shifts back to La Liga. A seventh straight league win would tighten their grip on first place.

Domestically, Barcelona have been dominant, winning 25 of their 30 league matches and scoring 80 goals, making them strong favourites to claim a 29th league title. Espanyol, meanwhile, haven’t beaten Barcelona in La Liga since February 2009, when they won 2-1 at Camp Nou, underlining the scale of the challenge they face. Their form in 2026 has been poor, with no wins since 22 December against Athletic Bilbao. In the 13 league games since, they’ve lost eight and drawn five, sliding down to 10th place, six points off sixth‑placed Celta Vigo.
There was at least a small boost last time out with a goalless draw against Real Betis, and Espanyol will be fresher heading into this derby. Still, given Barcelona’s momentum and Espanyol’s struggles, it’s a meeting that looks heavily tilted toward the league leaders.
Key stats & injury news
Barcelona are set to be without Pedri for the derby after he felt hamstring discomfort in the Atlético match. Marc Bernal is a major doubt with an ankle issue, while Andreas Christensen and Raphinha are both ruled out - knee and hamstring problems, respectively.
Espanyol also have some absences: Javi Puado remains sidelined with a knee injury, and Clemens Riedel is suspended following his latest booking.

Recent history between the sides leans heavily Barcelona’s way. They’ve won the last four meetings, including a 2-0 victory earlier this season, and haven’t lost to Espanyol since a Copa del Rey tie back in January 2018. That record underlines the challenge facing Espanyol as they head into this derby.

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.
