Sevilla vs. Alavés Preview: Team News, Kickoff and How to Watch (Nov. 6, 2026)
Information checked: November 6, 2026, 7:30 a.m. CET (UTC+01:00).
Sevilla FC hosts Deportivo Alavés at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on Friday, Nov. 6, in the opening match of LaLiga Matchday 12. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. in Seville, Spain (CET, UTC+01:00), which is 8:00 p.m. UTC. Sevilla enters the fixture sixth with 17 points from 11 matches; Alavés are 11th with 12 points. At the time of this check, LaLiga still listed the game as scheduled, so no final score was available.
The five-point gap gives both sides a clear target. A Sevilla win would move the hosts to 20 points and extend their cushion over Alavés to eight; an Alavés victory would bring the visitors to 15 and cut the gap to two. Those are conditional outcomes, not a prediction. Confirmed squad information points to absences for both sides, while the starting lineups had not been announced at the time of the check.

When and where is Sevilla vs. Alavés?
The match is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 6, 2026, at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium in Seville, Spain. The official Spanish schedule lists a 9:00 p.m. start. Seville is on Central European Time (CET, UTC+01:00) on that date, after the autumn daylight-saving change, so the equivalent time is 8:00 p.m. UTC. LaLiga lists the game as the first fixture of Matchday 12. Check the official LaLiga match page before kickoff for any schedule change.
What is the confirmed result?
There was no result to report at 7:30 a.m. CET on Nov. 6 because kickoff was still more than 13 hours away. LaLiga’s match page showed the fixture as scheduled, not completed. This article is therefore a pre-match preview, not a recap. For live score, match events, statistics, and the official postgame result, use the LaLiga match center once play begins.
How do Sevilla and Alavés compare in the standings?
LaLiga’s table at the time of checking showed Sevilla five points ahead of Alavés, with both clubs having played 11 matches. The exact comparison is:

The table makes the stakes easy to measure, but it does not decide the match. Sevilla has scored two more goals than Alavés, while both teams have a goal difference of minus two. The hosts will want to turn home advantage into a result and avoid conceding; Alavés can make the contest more valuable by closing the points gap. The figures are league totals through 11 games, not a forecast of Friday’s score. See the official LaLiga standings for the live table.
What team news has been confirmed?
Sevilla manager Luis García Plaza named a 24-player squad. The club’s English-language squad announcement confirms that forward Peque misses out through injury and Manu Bueno is unavailable because of suspension; academy players Iker Muñoz and Nico Guillén were included. Sevilla’s match preview also lists Marcao and Miguel Sierra as unavailable.
For Alavés, Sevilla’s pre-match guide reports that long-term absentees Facundo Garcés and Mikel Rodríguez are unavailable and says Quique Sánchez Flores can call on the rest of his squad. This is the opponent information published in Sevilla’s preview; the official starting XIs had not been announced at the time checked. Lineups are normally confirmed closer to kickoff, so fans should check the clubs’ match channels or LaLiga’s match center for any late change.
Where can you watch Sevilla vs. Alavés?
In Spain, Sevilla FC’s match guide lists DAZN as the live broadcaster. It also says eligible Orange and Movistar subscribers can watch through channels 113 and 55, respectively. Rights differ by country. The club’s international guide lists ESPN, ESPN+, and ESPN Deportes for the United States and TSN/RDS for Canada; viewers elsewhere can select their country through LaLiga’s official Where to Watch page. Broadcast packages and availability may vary, so verify the listing with the local provider before the match.
What could decide the match?
The clearest pre-match indicator is the contrast between Sevilla’s higher points total and the similar goal differences. Sevilla has conceded 19 goals in 11 games, while Alavés have allowed 17. That makes defensive execution a reasonable point to watch, especially if either side takes risks while chasing the lead. This is an analysis of the league numbers, not confirmed tactical instructions or a score prediction.
Sevilla’s home setting and the chance to reach 20 points give the hosts an obvious incentive to press for a win. Alavés, meanwhile, could turn a five-point deficit into two with an away victory. If the visitors take a point, the gap stays at five before the rest of the weekend’s fixtures. The likely impact on the table is therefore conditional on the result and the other Matchday 12 games; no outcome should be treated as certain before the final whistle.
