The new football season is already underway, and we have to solve the puzzle to know how much and where we can see the games either with the payment alternatives or with the free ones. Because watching full football does not fall under 100 euros, it’s convenient to know the alternatives.
Let’s start by telling you what matches you will be able to see for free and where so that you have a notion of open matches. Then we will review what the payment options are and how much each of them offers.
Where to See Free Football
Although it is becoming less common, there is still open football that you can enjoy without having to pay any subscription. Of course, these are just a few concrete games, and if what you want to see is LaLiga, then it is purely anecdotal. Here are the alternatives:
- Ten: This TDT channel offers a free LaLiga Hypermotion (Second Division) game every week, as well as one of LaLiga F.
- RTVE: The public television broadcaster maintains competitions such as the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, and you can also see the finals of these championships for free.
- Dazn: This channel broadcasts a game per day of LaLiga EA Sports (First Division) without cost, covering the gap left by Goal Play when it stopped broadcasting open meetings. You will need to have an account in the service, although open matches can be viewed without any payment.
- Regional Television: Some regional channels, such as Aragon TV, TVG (Galicia), Canal Sur (Andalusia), and Canarian television, among others, will broadcast matches of some of the teams in the region in the Second Division.
Therefore, with a DTT antenna functioning correctly to watch public television, TEN, and your regional channel, alongside a basic Dazn subscription, you can catch some first, second, and women’s league games, in addition to the great finals. It’s not all football, but it’s free.
Where to See Football Paying
Now, let’s return to reality. If you want to see all football or much of it , then you will have to opt for a payment platform. Here are two options: open platforms that don’t require you to change your operator or those linked to specific operators.
These are the open platforms that broadcast football:
- Movistar Plus+: Priced at 9.99 euros per month, it includes a match of each day of LaLiga EA Sports, a Champions League match, another from the Premier League, and the entire Spanish Second Division, LaLiga Hypermotion. It also covers Argentine, Brazilian, or Saudi leagues, plus channels for cinema, original series, and other sports like Euroleague, tennis, rugby, padel, NFL, and golf.
- Free Orange TV: Priced at 7.99 euros per month, it includes a match of each day of LaLiga EA Sports, a Champions League match, three LaLiga Hypermotion games, and one from the Italian Serie A, along with its 80 premium channels and the subscription to Skyshowtime.
- Dazn Soccer Plan: Ranging from 14.99 euros per month with a one-year commitment to 29.99 euros per month without a contract. This plan allows you to watch all the Bundesliga, Premier League, and complete series, in addition to almost half of LaLiga matches.
Regarding closed platforms, Movistar and Orange offer all football , being the only operators to provide it on their televisions with their own decoder when you subscribe to a package that includes convergent fiber, series, and television rates.
Meanwhile, other operators such as Digi, Lowi, Vodafone, Yoigo, MásMóvil, Finetwork, Euskaltel, R, and Telecable offer access to all LaLiga Hypermotion from 3 euros per month, but they do not include international competitions or the complete First Division. In this context, Digi TV is the only one that includes up to 10 games of each day of the first federation, which is the former Spanish Second B.
In summary, the landscape of football broadcasting in the new season has various options for both free and paid viewing. Understanding these alternatives can significantly enhance your football-watching experience without breaking the bank. With the charm of open matches still available, there’s no need to miss out on the game, but for a comprehensive experience, exploring the payment plans may be worthwhile. Enjoy the season ahead!
