Real Betis to meet AFC Bournemouth in pre-season friendly at Estadio La Cartuja
Real Betis will host AFC Bournemouth in a pre-season friendly at Sevilla’s Estadio La Cartuja on August 08 (BST), kicking off at 12:30 AM IST on Sunday, August 9, as both clubs continue preparations for the 2026-27 campaign.
The fixture is Real Betis’ sixth pre-season match and comes under manager Manuel Pellegrini, whose side followed a 3-1 victory over Premier League champions Arsenal in their previous warm-up game; the report notes that many top players were absent from Arsenal’s squad. Real Betis have suffered only one defeat in their last five matches and will be looking to build on that recent form in this outing.
AFC Bournemouth, managed by Marco Rose, have featured in three pre-season fixtures so far and have produced notable scorelines: a 10-1 win against Genoa, a 4-1 victory over St. Pauli and a 5-2 triumph versus Augsburg. The coverage describes Bournemouth’s approach in those matches as attacking and eye-catching, and says the Cherries will travel to Spain despite being away from home.
Broadcast arrangements differ by territory: viewers in the United Kingdom and the United States of America can watch the club-friendly on afcbTV, while people in Spain can tune into Betis TV. The report states that fans in India will not be able to view the fixture live.
The match is scheduled to take place at Estadio La Cartuja in Sevilla, with the confirmed kick-off time of 12:30 AM IST on Sunday, August 9 (August 08 BST) and live coverage available on the platforms listed above.
