Real Madrid will try to pick themselves up after their Supercup final disaster at the weekend, as they host Celta Vigo in this round of 16 Copa Del Rey clash.
Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti will be expecting a positive reaction from his players after they fell 5-2 to arch-rivals Barcelona on Sunday in the showpiece Supercup final in Saudi Arabia.
They now face Galician side Celta, who are currently in 12th position in La Liga. Claudio Giráldez González’s men had to battle second-tier Racing Santander in the final round to reach this stage.
Real Madrid will face Celta Vigo at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on Thursday, Jan. 16. The kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 pm CET local time, which makes it a 3:30 pm ET and 12:30 pm PT start in the US, a 8:30 pm GMT start in the UK and a 7:30am AEDT Friday kickoff in Australia.
Below, we discuss the best live TV streaming services which will be used to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world.
Despite his recent form, Jude Bellingham could not prevent Real Madrid from crashing to a humiliating 5-2 defeat to rivals Barcelona last Sunday in the Supercup final in Jeddah.

How to watch Copa Del Rey from anywhere with a VPN
If you find yourself unable to watch Copa Del Rey matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games – that’s where using a VPN comes in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speed on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to one you Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you can change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You must be sure that your VPN is set up correctly to avoid leaks: Even if VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone deemed to be avoiding the proper use of the blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our best VPN pick today for people who want a reliable and secure VPN, and it works on different devices. It’s normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you get three months free and save 49%. That’s the equivalent of $6.67 a month.
Remember that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I livestream Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo in the UK?
While Premier Sports and ITV show La Liga matches in the UK, no UK broadcaster currently has the live broadcast rights to show Spanish Copa Del Rey matches.
That also means that if you’re in the UK traveling for fun or for work, you won’t be able to watch the game like you normally would at home, thanks to geo-blocking.
There is an option to get around this, however. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the game is broadcast and go from there.
Can I livestream Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo in Canada?
As in the UK, no Canadian broadcasters will be showing the game today.
Can I livestream Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo in Australia?
It’s the same story Down Under, with no Austraian broadcaster set to show this cup fixture.
Quick tips for streaming Spanish Copa Del Rey matches using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Spanish Copa Del Rey matches can vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and put it in the right viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. Otherwise, you will need to change the physical address of the file using your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (such as your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network can now see the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for easily installing a VPN on your router. In some cases of smart TV services, after you install the sports app on the cable network, you will be asked to verify a numeric code or click on a link sent to your email address in file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router also helps because both devices appear to be in the right location.
- Remember, browsers can always provide a location even when using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We generally recommend Brave.
