La Liga Fixtures: Celta vs. Real Betis Kickoff, TV and Team News

Updated October 25, 2026: Celta is scheduled to host Real Betis in LaLiga EA Sports Matchday 10 on Sunday, October 25, at Estadio ABANCA Balaídos in Vigo. The official Spanish schedule gives kickoff as 4:15 p.m. in Vigo, or 3:15 p.m. UTC. DAZN is listed as the Spanish broadcaster. LaLiga’s match page still showed the game as scheduled at the latest pre-match check. Celta has announced a 22-player squad and five injury absences; the league also names Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos as referee. No final score is available before kickoff.

Celta vs. Real Betis kickoff time and timezone

The fixture is set for Sunday, October 25, 2026. The official LaLiga match page lists the start at 15:15, and the league’s Spanish Matchday 10 schedule gives the corresponding Vigo time as 16:15. Those listings refer to the same kickoff: 3:15 p.m. UTC and 4:15 p.m. in Vigo. For this match, the local time is Central European Time (CET, UTC+01:00), not the summer-time offset used earlier in the season.

The date is also Spain’s 2026 daylight-saving changeover. The Spanish Official State Gazette sets the end of summer time for Sunday, October 25. On mainland Spain, clocks move back one hour at 3:00 a.m., returning to 2:00 a.m. By the afternoon kickoff in Vigo, the applicable offset is CET (UTC+01:00). That makes the 16:15 local listing one hour ahead of 15:15 UTC. When saving the match to a calendar, select Vigo or CET so the time is not mistaken for an unlabelled 4:15 p.m. in another location.

Check the official LaLiga match page for the league’s event status and venue. Its English-language Matchday 10 page lists the kickoff in UTC, while the Spanish schedule shows the time used in Spain. The Spanish Official State Gazette calendar confirms October 25 as the 2026 end date for summer time.

Venue and official match status

Celta is the home side, and the game is scheduled for Estadio ABANCA Balaídos in Vigo, Galicia. LaLiga’s match page names the stadium, and Celta’s squad announcement also describes the fixture as being played at Abanca Balaídos. Real Betis’s official match listing independently shows the away fixture at Celta on October 25 at 16:15. The venue is therefore confirmed as Celta’s stadium, rather than Betis’s home ground in Seville.

At the latest pre-match check, LaLiga labeled the event “Scheduled,” with no score posted. The league’s schedule continued to show the October 25 date and the 15:15 UTC start. No official postponement or venue change appeared in the sources checked. That status is a pre-kickoff snapshot, so readers should use the match page for any subsequent live status, confirmed lineups or final score rather than relying on a cached preview.

The league match page names Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos as the referee. Its Matchday 10 schedule also identifies DAZN for the Spanish broadcast listing. These details come from the official competition pages and are specific to this fixture; broadcasting availability outside Spain can vary by country. Viewers elsewhere should check the rights holder in their own market instead of assuming that the Spanish DAZN listing applies internationally.

Confirmed Celta team news

On October 24, Celta published a 22-player call-up for the Betis match. The squad named by head coach Claudio Giráldez is 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.

Celta’s announcement lists five players as unavailable through injury: Carl Starfelt, Borja Iglesias, Miguel Román, Álvaro Núñez and Jones El-Abdellaoui. The club’s notice does not identify an additional suspension, and this squad list should not be treated as a starting lineup. A call-up confirms inclusion in the group, not that a player will start or take part. The official Celta squad announcement is the source for the list and the five injury absences.

Real Betis’s official match page continues to show the fixture before kickoff, but the sources checked did not provide a confirmed Betis availability list or starting XI. No Betis injury or suspension should be stated as confirmed without a club or league update. LaLiga’s match page is the place to check for the official lineups when they are released. This distinction matters on match day, when predicted teams and earlier injury reports can circulate before the clubs publish final information.

Where to watch and follow the result

DAZN is the broadcaster named on LaLiga’s Spanish Matchday 10 schedule for Celta vs. Real Betis. That is a Spain-specific listing. The article does not assume a viewing market for readers elsewhere; check a local provider’s schedule for rights and availability in your country. Kickoff is 4:15 p.m. in Vigo (CET, UTC+01:00), which is 3:15 p.m. UTC on the same date.

Before kickoff, the league page provides the official scheduled status and match details. Once the game begins, LaLiga’s results page is the appropriate source for the live match status, any posted lineups and, after full time, the final result. At the latest pre-match check, the match had not started and no score was available. Reporting a score or match outcome before the final update would be premature.

For team-specific notices, Celta’s website carries the confirmed squad update, while Real Betis’s official first-team match page tracks its fixture schedule. Recheck those official channels on match day for any late team announcement. Unless the clubs or LaLiga publish a change, the confirmed details remain Celta at Estadio ABANCA Balaídos on Sunday, October 25, with kickoff at 16:15 in Vigo and DAZN listed for Spain.

Quick recap

Celta vs. Real Betis is scheduled for LaLiga Matchday 10 on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Estadio ABANCA Balaídos in Vigo.
