SATURDAY’S EL CLÁSICO will be broadcast live on eir Sport, the broadcaster has confirmed.
La Liga fixtures were until recently exclusive to Eleven Sports, but the online streaming service has since been joined in the market by competitor Premier Sports who have secured a significant portion of those rights in the UK and Ireland.
