Real Sociedad vs. Levante UD: Kickoff, TV Channel, Venue and Team News

Updated October 25, 2026: Real Sociedad host Levante UD in LALIGA EA SPORTS Matchday 10 at Anoeta on Sunday. Official match listings still show the fixture as scheduled. Here are the confirmed kickoff details, Spain viewing option, squad updates, and stadium information.

Real Sociedad vs. Levante UD: kickoff, venue, and status

The match is set for Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Anoeta in San Sebastián. The Spanish LALIGA matchday schedule and both clubs list kickoff at 6:30 p.m. local time. That is 5:30 p.m. UTC (17:30Z). The English LALIGA match page displays 17:30, while the Spanish listings display 18:30; these values describe the same start time when the English page's UTC display is read alongside the local schedule.

The date matters because the European Union's published summer-time calendar sets October 25 as the 2026 clock-change date. By kickoff, San Sebastián is on Central European Time, CET (UTC+01:00), rather than summer time, CEST (UTC+02:00). The local time therefore converts to 17:30 UTC. For travel or a live stream, use the time zone shown by the device or service you rely on and check the official match page for any late schedule change.

Where to watch the match

For viewers in Spain, LALIGA's Matchday 10 schedule names Movistar LALIGA as the operator for Real Sociedad vs. Levante UD. Movistar Plus+'s own program listing also includes the match on M+ LALIGA on Sunday, October 25. Its schedule places the pregame program at 6:00 p.m. and the match listing at 6:24 p.m. local time, ahead of the 6:30 p.m. kickoff. Channel access and streaming availability depend on the viewer's subscription and service, so check your current package before the match.

Outside Spain, check LALIGA's territory information or the official schedule of the rights holder where you live. Broadcast rights differ by country, so a Spanish channel listing does not establish that the same stream is available internationally.

If you mainly need confirmed starters, the score, or match events, use the official LALIGA match center or the clubs' channels. Those are information sources rather than substitutes for a licensed live video broadcast. Starting lineups are distinct from a squad announcement: a player can be called up without being named in the first eleven. Check the match page close to kickoff for the official lineup release.

Anoeta matchday information

Real Sociedad's matchday notice says the stadium gates open at 5:30 p.m. San Sebastián time, one hour before kickoff. The club also advises supporters to download and save the current season's NFC ticket to a mobile wallet in advance. Its notice says the ticket can be used without an internet connection once saved, which may help with entry if mobile coverage is busy around the ground.

Euskotren and Donostiabus are due to provide special services for the match. Real Sociedad's notice says rail access after the game depends on the direction of travel: supporters heading toward Hendaia, Lasarte-Oria, or Zumaia use different access points at the station. Check the club's matchday information and the operators' current service updates before setting out, particularly if you will travel by train or bus. The club's practical notice is the best place to confirm any changes to access arrangements.

Confirmed squad news and what remains unknown

Levante UD published its traveling squad on October 24 for the Matchday 10 game. The club's announcement names Bardeli as unavailable because of an injury and says Dela is out with physical discomfort. Those are the absences explicitly confirmed in Levante's notice. The squad list itself confirms who was called up; it does not establish the starting formation or guarantee that every selected player will start.

Real Sociedad also published a squad list after its final preparation session on October 24. The club says head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo selected the players for the match at Anoeta. The accessible text of that announcement does not provide an additional injury or suspension bulletin, so this update does not infer any further absences from the names or the graphic. The official LALIGA match page still shows the fixture as scheduled and does not yet supply the final lineups in the material checked for this update.

For the clearest pregame picture, check the official lineup announcement close to kickoff. The distinction is useful: a confirmed call-up indicates that a player is in the match squad, while only the published starting XI confirms whether that player begins. If a late fitness update or a change to the schedule appears, rely on the club or LALIGA match center rather than repeating an unverified report.

Form and table context before kickoff

LALIGA's match page shows both clubs after nine league matches. Real Sociedad have 16 points from five wins, one draw, and three losses. Levante have 10 points from two wins, four draws, and three losses. Both sides have scored at least 15 goals and conceded 17, giving the fixture a six-point gap in the standings without suggesting that the result is predetermined.

Levante's official preview says the team comes into the game on a three-match league unbeaten run after a midweek win over Athletic Club. Real Sociedad had gone four league matches without a loss, with three wins and one draw, and had also beaten Lillestrøm 6–0 in the Europa League. Those recent results provide context, not a forecast: both clubs will need to deliver again on the day.

The same Levante preview records 14 previous top-flight meetings in San Sebastián: Real Sociedad won six, Levante won two, and six finished level. It says the most recent Levante visit, in April 2026, ended in a 2–0 home win. That history adds context to the home fixture but does not determine what happens in Matchday 10.

Quick checklist for following the fixture

• Kickoff: 6:30 p.m. in San Sebastián, CET (UTC+01:00), or 5:30 p.m. UTC on Sunday, October 25.
