How to Watch Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad on TV, Live Stream
The Bernabéu catches its first glimpse of José Mourinho’s latest bunch of Galácticos on Wednesday evening, as Real Madrid host Real Sociedad in La Liga.
Mourinho’s second stint as manager started with a 2–1 victory at the plucky Espanyol on Saturday, and it was the summer signing who arrived with the least fanfare, Carlos Espí, who proved to be the late match winner in Barcelona.
There’s much for Madrid to improve, though, and the very early signs suggest Mourinho will encounter similar issues that compromised the reigns of his predecessors.
Still, the talent at the suddenly serene returning manager’s disposal can’t be disputed, and back-to-back wins to kick off the season would represent a positive start to this reunion.
Here’s how to watch Madrid’s La Liga home opener of the 2026–27 season.
