La Liga: Real Sociedad vs. Levante UD Kickoff, Anoeta Guide and Team News

Updated October 25, 2026. Real Sociedad are scheduled to host Levante UD in LaLiga Matchday 10 at Anoeta on Sunday. The match remains listed as scheduled in the league’s match center, and no final score or confirmed starting lineup was shown when this update was prepared. The main pre-match points are the kickoff-time display, Levante’s two absences, and the stadium’s matchday transport arrangements.

Real Sociedad vs. Levante UD match details

Kickoff time and the clock change

Real Sociedad’s matchday notice and Levante’s official call-up both list the fixture for 18:30 in San Sebastián. That is the venue’s local time. Spain’s summer time ends on October 25, 2026: the official clock-change calendar says the change happens at 3:00 a.m., when clocks on the mainland move back to 2:00 a.m. San Sebastián is therefore on Central European Time, CET (UTC+01:00), by kickoff. The club-listed 6:30 p.m. start converts to 5:30 p.m. UTC.

There is a labeling issue in the league display. LaLiga’s match center and Matchday 10 results page show “17:30 h,” but neither page identifies a time zone beside that figure. That number matches the UTC conversion of the clubs’ 18:30 CET listing; readers should not assume it means 17:30 in San Sebastián. For travel to Anoeta, use the event-specific 18:30 local time published by both clubs, then recheck the official match center for any change. International readers can use 17:30 UTC as the corresponding time.

The league’s match center names Javier Alberola Rojas as referee and lists Anoeta as the venue. It showed the fixture as scheduled at the time of this update. Its lineup section is separate from the schedule, so check it again close to kickoff for the official starting elevens, substitutes, and any live status change.

Standings and form before Matchday 10

The pre-match table on the official Levante match page places Real Sociedad fifth with 16 points after nine matches. Levante are 12th with 10 points, also after nine. Real Sociedad’s record is five wins, one draw, and three losses; Levante’s is two wins, four draws, and three losses. The clubs had scored 17 and conceded 17 apiece, while Levante had scored 15 and conceded 17. These are standings figures before the Anoeta fixture, not a prediction or a match result.

Real Sociedad’s recent league results listed by LaLiga include wins over Málaga, 5–2; Deportivo, 3–2; and Valencia, 3–2. The same sequence includes a 3–0 loss to Atlético de Madrid, a reminder that the recent run has not been flawless. The club also entered the weekend after a 6–0 win over Lillestrøm in the UEFA Europa League on October 22. That European score is separate from the league table and does not add LaLiga points.

LaLiga’s pre-match player leaders list Luka Sučić as Real Sociedad’s top league scorer with three goals. Levante’s leading scorer is Roger Brugué with five, followed by Iván Romero with three. Those numbers help identify the attacking players who had produced most of each club’s goals through the first nine league rounds; they do not indicate who will start or score in this match.

Team news, injuries, and suspensions

Real Sociedad announced its matchday squad on Saturday, October 24, after the final preparation session. The club notice confirms that Pellegrino Matarazzo selected a group for the Levante match, but a squad list is not the starting lineup. The official LaLiga page says lineups are made available one hour before kickoff. No starting XI was displayed in the pages checked for this update.

Levante’s official call-up names 23 players for the trip to Anoeta, including Hugo Sotelo, who was listed in the squad. The club says Enzo Bardeli is unavailable because of an injury and Dela is out with physical discomfort. The call-up does not give a more specific diagnosis or recovery timetable, so no further medical detail can be confirmed from that announcement. Neither club’s squad notice identifies an additional player as suspended; check the official team sheets for any late change before the match.

One connection between the teams is midfielder Jon Ander Olasagasti, who moved to Levante from Real Sociedad, as Levante noted in its pre-match coverage. The roster connection is background only; the matchday squad and eventual lineup will determine the available players on the field.

Anoeta venue and matchday access

Anoeta is in Donostia / San Sebastián in Spain’s Basque Country. Real Sociedad’s event-specific visitor guide says Euskotren and Donostiabus will provide special services around the match. Supporters using Euskotren’s Topo after the final whistle should choose the station access by destination: use the new hall for trains toward Hendaia, the main entrance of the old hall for Lasarte-Oria, and the Gasca-side entrance of the old hall for trains toward Zumaia.

The club says the old hall, normally closed during renovation, will open from two hours before until two hours after the match. Real Sociedad also scheduled two Topagunea gathering areas near the stadium, by Gate 13 on the south esplanade and beside Gate 8 near Keler Espazioa. The club’s notice lists live music and food trucks at those locations from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. San Sebastián time. Stadium gates were scheduled to open at 5:30 p.m. local time. These event arrangements are specific to this fixture, so check the club and transport operators for last-minute service notices.

For spectators arriving by train or bus, the practical point is to plan the return route before kickoff, especially if traveling toward Hendaia, Lasarte-Oria, or Zumaia. The old station hall has a matchday opening window, and the club directs passengers to different entrances by destination. Donostiabus and Euskotren updates remain the best sources for live departures and any service changes on October 25.
