Segunda Division champions Levante face a tough test of their La Liga credentials on Saturday as they take on Catalan giants Barcelona.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens.
Levante secured a return to Spain’s top flight in some style last term, but the Frogs worryingly slipped to defeat to Alaves — a club widely tipped to be battling relegation this term — in their season opener last weekend.
It was business as usual, meanwhile, for defending champions Barcelona last weekend, with Hansi Flick’s men kicking off their title defence with a comfortable 3-0 win away against Mallorca.
Levante plays Barcelona at the Estadi Ciutat de València on Saturday, Aug. 23. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time, making it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US, an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Sunday morning.
Lamine Yamal got off the mark for the season with Barcelona’s third goal in their 3-0 win away at Mallorca last weekend.
