La Liga Soccer Livestream: How to Watch Villareal vs. Real Madrid From Anywhere
It's a big game in La Liga on Saturday as top-four chasing Villareal host title-chasing Real Madrid at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
Real come into this clash having dramatically beaten Madrid rivals Atletico on penalties in midweek to claim their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. With their title rivals Atletico and Barcelona locking horns on Sunday, today's game looks like being one Carlo Ancelotti's team need to win if they're to crowned La Liga champions for a 37th time.
They face a Villareal team that have earned a reputation as the league entertainers, with the Yellow Submarine having scored 48 times and conceded 36 goals over the course of the season so far. Despite their leaky defence, they remain in contention for Champions League qualification in fifth position.
Villareal takes on Real Madrid at the Estadio de la Cerámica on Saturday, March 15. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CET local time, making it a 1:30 p.m. ET and 10:30 a.m. PT start in the US, a 5:30 p.m. GMT start in the UK and a 4:30 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Sunday morning.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world.
Villareal boss Marcelino will be hoping his side can bounce back today following their shock 1-0 defeat at Alaves last weekend.

If you find yourself unable to view La Liga matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really 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 should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

See at BeIn Sports Quick tips for streaming La Liga using a VPN
- With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming La Liga matches may 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 set it to the correct 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. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- Remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
