How to watch Real Madrid vs Getafe and other La Liga Matches in India?

You might be thinking even after being a tech journal why Tech Hundred is covering sports? Well, now that La Liga will be no longer broadcasted through television channels there are plenty of reasons to write this article. For football fans, there might be many questions now. Many are confused about how to and where to watch the La Liga matches in India. And many are still searching for it.

Real Madrid vs Getafe

It isn’t unknown to everyone that FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are really famous and supporter rich clubs in India. And the Spanish football giants Real Madrid are all set to start their campaign on Sunday. Many Real Madrid fans are asking us How to watch Real Madrid vs Getafe in India. So, we thought of writing an article in order to help them.

This is going to be the very first La Liga match of the season for Real Madrid and it is going to be a very important one as well. Last year Real Madrid lost some points against small teams which resulted in Real’s 3rd place finish in La Liga.

After Real Madrid’s UEFA Super Cup loss against Atletico Madrid, it is going to be seen how Julien Lopetegui, the Real Madrid coach sets the starting XI. The fans are waiting to see how the team performs in absence of ex-Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo. Although the coach says it is not going to be a huge issue but is it really true? What do you think?

The match is scheduled on Sunday 10:15 PM CET. Which means in India it will be broadcasted from 01:45 AM. This article covers how to watch Real Madrid vs Getafe in India. However, you can follow similar steps and watch your favorite La Liga clubs game.

The La Liga and Facebook TV Rights Deal

By now you most probably know that La Liga has decided not to renew TV rights with ESPN anymore. In case if you do not already know, US tech giant Facebook has bought the official TV rights of La Liga in the South Asian countries for 3 years. The deal will be valid in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.

Thanks to the official TV rights, all 380 games of La Liga will be now live telecasted through Facebook. However, due to this deal, no TV channels will be able to broadcast the game on TV in the mentioned countries. This includes its own goods and bads.

The Goods and The Bads of the Deal

To be honest, India still lacks fast and data-rich Internet connections. It is worth mentioning that watching a game of 90 mins live will burn a lot of data. Moreover, if someone wants to watch the game in HD or above that will need even more data.

Other than all these, there also has to be a strong internet connection to watch the games live without any buffer. In India, most people are not that strong economically to have a good broadband connection or unlimited data plans. For them, this is going to be a nightmare.

However, people who have good internet connection might find it easier to watch the games on the go. Frankly speaking, this can not be a reason to watch the games on Facebook rather than on TV as we already had Live TV apps like Jio TV and Airtel TV which broadcasts almost all sports channels for free. Moreover, most La Liga games start at late night here in South Asian countries and I wonder if anyone stays out or commutes at that time.

As a football fan, I am really not happy about this deal between La Liga and Facebook. Sorry Mark, but let me be straight, you’re ruining our football experience. Anyways that’s my point of view. So how do you watch Real Madrid vs Getafe in India? Below is how you can.
