How to Watch La Liga in the US

If you follow Spanish football from the United States, the short answer is simple: La Liga lives on ESPN+. ESPN holds the exclusive US rights through the 2028-29 season, and every single match is available to stream. Here is the full picture for the 2026-27 campaign.

Every match: ESPN+

All 380 La Liga matches stream on ESPN+ ($12.99/month, or bundled with Disney+ and Hulu). It is the only service that carries 100 percent of the games, so if you want to follow a specific club week to week, ESPN+ is the one subscription that guarantees you every fixture.

Select games on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC

Each week a handful of standout matches also air on the linear ESPN networks, and the occasional marquee fixture lands on ABC over the air. Those channels come with most cable packages and live-TV streaming services, including YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, Sling and DIRECTV STREAM.

Watching in Spanish

For Spanish-language commentary, ESPN Deportes carries La Liga across the season, and Spanish audio is also available on ESPN+.

Kickoff times for US viewers

Spain runs six hours ahead of US Eastern time and nine ahead of Pacific. In practice that means most weekend matches kick off between roughly 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM ET, which is why La Liga is such good morning viewing in the States. We convert every kickoff to US Eastern on our La Liga fixtures page, so you always know when your club plays in your time zone.
