Deportivo La Coruña to host Elche at Estadio Riazor in LaLiga 2026-27 on August 18
Deportivo La Coruña will host Elche CF at the Estadio Riazor in La Coruna, Spain, in a LaLiga 2026-27 fixture on Tuesday, August 18, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 a.m. IST.
Deportivo faced Real Madrid in their final pre-season match, losing 0-1, and Antonio Hidalgo’s men have been urged to improve their attacking output while avoiding conceding too many chances to visitors. The team will play this game at home for their first outing in the Spanish first division this year, a circumstance the club regard as a significant advantage.
Elche CF produced what the club described as decent performances during their recent pre-season run but registered below-average form in last season’s league campaign and will be looking to adjust tactics for the new term. The Martín Anselmi-led side travel to Riazor as the visitors, a factor noted in previews as capable of applying pressure on the hosts.
Viewers in India can watch the match live on the FanCode app and website. Fans in the United Kingdom have live access via Disney+ and Premier Sports, while spectators in the host nation can tune in through Movistar, DAZN and Teledeporte.
In the United States, the fixture will be available on ESPN, ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes. For further coverage and updates, follow Khel Now on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram; download the Khel Now Android App or IOS App and join our community on Telegram.
