Barcelona vs. Real Madrid live stream: Watch El Clasico online
Spain's two most dominant sides square off in El Clasico — here's how to watch the Barcelona vs. Real Madrid live stream
The Barcelona vs. Real Madrid match kicks off at 10 a.m. EDT/7 a.m. PDT today (Sat, Oct. 24). BeIN Sports carries the match in the U.S. while UK viewers will be able to watch on La Liga TV.
It's time for the Barcelona vs. Real Madrid live stream, which is always a must-see, as this El Clasico (much like every installment) sees the stakes much more elevated than usual. Neither team enters the match topping the La Liga table; instead both Barcelona and Real Madrid have struggled in the early going with neither looking particularly dominant.
Real Madrid finds itself in even hotter water, having lost its last two matches — one in La Liga, the other in the UEFA Champions League. Barcelona lost last week, too, but it recaptured some momentum with a midweek Champions League win.

Barcelona vs. Real Madrid live streams in the U.S.
Cable channel beIN has the rights to La Liga matches, and that's where you'll find Saturday's Barcelona vs. Real Madrid live stream. While beIN is available through many cable TV packages, it's often not included in the basic tiers of services, so you may have to contact your cable or satellite TV provider to see if you have access.
BeIN streams is coverage through the beIN Sports Connect site. You can also download the Android and iOS apps to watch the Barcelona vs. Real Madrid match on your smartphone. However, you will need to provide your cable or satellite TV login credentials to watch beIN Sports Connect, so that's not an option if you've dropped your cable subscription or if beIN isn't included with your service.
