Espanyol v Real Madrid: LaLiga match at RCDE Stadium, kick-off 01:00 a.m. IST on Aug 23

Espanyol will host Real Madrid at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona in a LaLiga 2026-27 fixture scheduled to kick off at 01:00 a.m. IST on Sunday, August 23.

Manolo González's Espanyol enter the game after a 3-0 victory over Levante UD in their opening league match; their performance in the final third was described as phenomenal, they controlled the tempo, limited Levante to few chances and defended calmly, and they may adopt a similar approach against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid begin their LaLiga campaign away from home under a new manager with a number of new players and are aiming to win multiple trophies this season; the Jose Mourinho-led side beat FC Schalke 3-0 in their final pre-season fixture and prevailed in both league meetings with Espanyol last season.
