Celta vs Real Betis: Football Fixtures, Kickoff Time and Confirmed Team News

Updated October 25, 2026: Celta are scheduled to host Real Betis in LaLiga EA Sports Matchday 10 at Estadio ABANCA Balaídos in Vigo. The official kickoff is 4:15 p.m. Central European Time (CET, UTC+01:00) on Sunday, October 25, which is 15:15 UTC. LaLiga lists DAZN as the broadcaster in Spain. Celta have announced their matchday squad and five injury absences; the starting lineups and a match-specific Betis availability update were not confirmed in the official pages checked for this update.

Celta vs Real Betis: fixture details

The official LaLiga match page lists the fixture as scheduled at Estadio ABANCA Balaídos. The league’s Matchday 10 results and schedule page also lists the kickoff, referee, and DAZN. These pages are the best places to check if the league posts a change to the time, venue, match status, or lineup information.

Kickoff time in Vigo and UTC

The match is scheduled for 15:15 UTC on October 25. In Vigo, Galicia, the same moment is 4:15 p.m. CET (UTC+01:00). The date matters for the conversion: October 25, 2026, is the last Sunday in October, when EU countries switch back to standard time under the seasonal clock-change schedule. Mainland Spain is therefore on CET for this afternoon kickoff, rather than CEST (UTC+02:00). The European Commission’s summertime information describes the EU’s return to standard time on the last Sunday of October.

For an international calendar entry, keep both labels together: 4:15 p.m. CET in Vigo and 15:15 UTC. If you are watching from another country, convert from 15:15 UTC using your location’s offset on October 25. Local offsets can differ within a country, and daylight-saving changes can move an event across the date line in some regions. Check your calendar’s time-zone setting instead of copying a bare “4:15 p.m.” entry.

Venue: Estadio ABANCA Balaídos

Celta are the home team, and the confirmed venue is Estadio ABANCA Balaídos in Vigo. The club’s stadium name is useful when checking tickets, maps, and matchday travel. The official fixture listing confirms where the match is scheduled, but it does not provide a substitute for an individual ticket’s entry gate or the club’s latest access instructions. Supporters attending in person should follow Celta’s current stadium notices and the details issued with their ticket.

Allow enough time to reach the ground and pass through the entry process. If your trip depends on a local bus, rail, or other transport service, check the operator’s Sunday timetable before setting out. Those arrangements are separate from the match listing and can change independently.

Where to watch Celta vs Real Betis

For viewers in Spain, LaLiga lists DAZN for this fixture. The league’s listing is a country-specific rights reference; it does not establish that the match is available on DAZN in every territory. Broadcast partners and packages vary by country, so viewers outside Spain should check LaLiga’s official “Where to watch” page and the schedule of the local rights holder.

Before kickoff, search for Celta vs Real Betis in the official service for your country and verify that the listing shows the correct date and live coverage. A league fixture can appear in a schedule before a broadcaster’s app has added the final program entry. If the service shows a different time, compare its time-zone label with the league’s 15:15 UTC listing. No reader market was specified for this article, so this update gives the verified Vigo time and the Spanish DAZN listing without assuming a separate national broadcaster.

Confirmed team news and absences

Celta published a 22-player squad on October 24. The club’s official matchday squad announcement names Altay Bayindir, Andrei Radu, Iván Villar, Marcos Alonso, Abdoulaye Faye, Sergio Carreira, Ilaix Moriba, Ferran Jutglà, Iago Aspas, Pablo Durán, Aleix Febas, Hugo González, Javi Rueda, Yoel Lago, Williot Swedberg, Javi Rodríguez, Sebastián Cáceres, Javi Galán, Hugo Álvarez, Couhaib Driouech, Andrés Antañón, and Hugo Burcio. Being included in the squad means a player is available for selection; it does not confirm that he will start.

The same Celta notice lists Carl Starfelt, Borja Iglesias, Miguel Román, Álvaro Núñez, and Jones El-Abdellaoui as unavailable because of injuries. This is the club’s published injury information for the match. The notice does not identify a Celta player as suspended. Readers should use the club’s page for any correction or later medical update rather than treating a projected lineup as a confirmed team announcement.

In the Real Betis official schedule and club pages reviewed for this update, no match-specific squad or injury bulletin was available. That means this article does not label any Betis player as injured, suspended, or certain to miss the match. It is not proof that every player is available. LaLiga’s match page still labels the game “Scheduled,” and the confirmed starting elevens were not shown in the official listing at the time checked. Recheck the league match center and the clubs’ official channels close to kickoff for the lineups and any late change.

Matchday context

LaLiga’s match page shows the teams entering this game after nine league matches. Its pre-match table snapshot places Celta eighth on 11 points and Real Betis fourth on 19 points. Those figures describe the standings displayed by the league before this fixture; they do not predict the result or indicate how the table will look after the match. The same official page lists Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos as referee, an additional confirmed detail for supporters following the match.

For team selection, distinguish three different kinds of information: a player named in a squad, a club-confirmed absence, and a starting lineup. Celta’s October 24 notice confirms the first two for its side. The official match center is the appropriate place to check for the third once both teams publish their XIs. Reports based only on expected formations or training photographs should not be presented as confirmed team news.
