The most glamorous rivalry in soccer has gone Stateside for the second time ever, and Las Vegas is as a fitting location for the clash as any. Barcelona have embarked on yet another summer of lavish spending despite being hundreds of millions of Euros in the red, adding Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha to a squad that was already fit to bursting with attacking talent. Anything but victory would be a bad look for Xavi. Read on as we explain how to watch a Barcelona vs Real Madrid live stream from anywhere in the world - including FREE coverage in some places.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid live stream

Date: Saturday, July 23

Time: 8pm PT (local) / 11pm ET / 4am BST / 8.30am IST / 1pm AEST

Venue: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada

FREE live stream: Paramount Plus FREE trial (AU)

Watch anywhere: try ExpressVPN 100% risk-free

Global streams: Premier Sports (UK) | Sony Liv (IN) | FS2 via Sling TV discount or FuboTV FREE trial (US)

Whereas Barcelona have had two games to prepare for this, Carlo Ancelotti and his men were granted an extended summer break as a reward for Real Madrid's La Liga and Champions League triumphs.

Raphinha scored and laid on two assists on his debut in midweek, a 6-0 thrashing of Inter Miami in which Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Memphis Depay, Ousmane Dembélé, Ansu Fati and Gavi also found the back of the net.

Madrid have strengthened with the signings of top-class center-back Antonio Rüdiger and midfield lynchpin Aurélien Tchouaméni, and they've also recalled playmaker Reinier from a loan spell at Dortmund. Their failure to land Kylian Mbappe from PSG, doubtless, still smarts but will Karim Benzema be looking to prove a point?

Follow our guide as we explain how to watch a Barcelona vs Real Madrid live stream wherever you are.

How to watch Barcelona vs Real Madrid from outside your country

We've set out below the ways you can live stream Barcelona vs Real Madrid in a number of countries around the world. However, if you're away travelling for work or pleasure, you probably won't be able to tune in like you normally would at home.

That's the result of geo-blocking - best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to certain parts of the world. A good streaming VPN can let you get around these digital borders, while also offering robust protection from cybercriminals and government snooping.
