Real Sociedad vs Levante UD: Kickoff, Team News and Matchday Guide

Updated October 25, 2026. Real Sociedad are scheduled to host Levante UD in LALIGA EA SPORTS Matchday 10 on Sunday, October 25, at Estadio Anoeta in Donostia / San Sebastián. The club’s matchday notice and ticket listing give kickoff as 6:30 p.m. at the venue. Mainland Spain is on Central European Time (CET, UTC+01:00) that evening, so the scheduled start is 17:30 UTC on the same Sunday. Check the official listings again before leaving, since LALIGA advises supporters to recheck schedules for possible changes.

Real Sociedad vs Levante UD: match details

Why the kickoff time appears differently on LALIGA pages

The official English-language Matchday 10 schedule shows Real Sociedad vs Levante UD at 17:30, but it does not label the time zone beside that value. LALIGA’s Spanish-language schedule lists the match at 18:30. Real Sociedad’s matchday notice and the club’s official ticket listing also state 18:30 at Anoeta. These venue-specific notices agree on the time supporters should use in San Sebastián.

The 17:30 shown by the English-language page matches the UTC equivalent of 18:30 CET, but the page does not identify it as UTC. Do not treat that bare 17:30 display as local stadium time. For an in-person plan, use 6:30 p.m. CET (UTC+01:00) and check the club’s matchday information and ticket page before travel. For an international calendar entry, save the event with the Europe/Madrid time zone so the date and offset are handled by the calendar app.

October 25 clock change and the UTC conversion

The date matters because the European summer-time period ends on Sunday, October 25, 2026. The European Commission’s published schedule sets that as the 2026 end date. Mainland Spain returns to standard time, CET (UTC+01:00), after the overnight clock change. The match is in the evening, after the change has taken place; 18:30 CET therefore converts to 17:30 UTC on October 25. There is no date change in this conversion.

That calculation also explains why a listing can look an hour earlier when shown in UTC. The local time is the one printed by the Spanish league page, Real Sociedad’s matchday notice, and the club ticket service. The English-language league schedule’s unlabeled 17:30 should be read with that difference in mind. The European Union’s official summer-time schedule identifies October 25 as the 2026 clock-change date.

Latest team news and suspensions

Levante published its matchday squad on October 24. In its official call-up notice, the club says Enzo Bardeli is unavailable because of an injury and Dela is out with physical discomfort. The notice names the players called up for the trip to Anoeta. It does not give a return timetable for either player, so no recovery date should be assumed from this update.

Real Sociedad also published a match squad on October 24 after its final preparation session. The club’s official squad notice confirms the list for the Levante game. Its text does not provide a separate injury report. LALIGA’s current matchday listing names Javier Alberola Rojas as referee, but the official items reviewed do not publish a separate suspension update for this fixture. That means there is no suspension detail to report from those notices; it is not a substitute for checking the final team sheets.

Starting lineups are distinct from pre-match squad lists. Check LALIGA’s match page close to kickoff for the confirmed elevens and any late changes. A player’s inclusion in a travel squad does not guarantee a starting role, and an older medical update should not be treated as a current matchday status without a newer club statement.

Broadcast information

LALIGA’s Spanish-language Matchday 10 schedule lists Movistar LALIGA as the operator for Real Sociedad vs Levante UD in Spain. The English-language schedule leaves its broadcaster field blank, and broadcast rights vary by country. Viewers outside Spain should use LALIGA’s official Where to Watch page and select their country. A provider carrying another LALIGA match or operating in a neighboring market is not confirmation that it has this game.

Getting to Estadio Anoeta

Real Sociedad’s matchday guide says Euskotren and Donostiabus will run special services. For the Euskotren journey after the match, the club gives different access instructions by destination: passengers heading toward Hendaia should use the new lobby; those traveling toward Lasarte-Oria should enter through the main entrance of the old lobby; and passengers heading toward Zumaia should use the Gasca-side access to the old lobby. The old terminal is scheduled to open for match arrangements, but check the club notice and live operator updates before choosing an entrance or planning a connection.

The club says stadium gates open at 5:30 p.m. CET, one hour before kickoff. Its Topagunea fan areas by gates 8 and 13 are scheduled to run from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. CET. These are local venue times, not UTC. If you use a 2026/27 digital membership card, Real Sociedad says to download the current-season NFC card again, even if you used one last season. Have your ticket or current membership credential ready before reaching the entrance.

After the final whistle, Aita Donostia Square is expected to close to traffic for about 15 minutes for safety, according to the club. That can affect buses and pickup plans immediately around Anoeta. Leave time for crowds to exit and confirm your return service with Euskotren or Donostiabus. The club’s matchday guide is the source for these venue arrangements and any last-minute transport changes.
