El Clasico is back and it’s one of the biggest football events of the year. If you’re looking for a way you can stream Barcelona v Real Madrid then this is the guide for you.
In this guide I’m going to show you how you can watch El Clasico online for free. Best of all you won’t need any kind of cable subscription nor will it require you to visit any sketchy illegal streams.
El Clasico is the meeting of Real Madrid and Barcelona which has been fiercely fought over in recent years. As the event has become more popular it’s seen it move mostly to paid-for cable networks.
Below I’m going to show you how by using a small ‘VPN’ app you can stream the entire match in any country.
What you need to watch El Clasico
Unlike many countries, El Clasico is being shown totally free in Russia. It’s being shown online on the MatchTV network which is one of the biggest official sport steaming networks in the country.
The match is shown with full commentary and costs nothing to watch.
If you’re outside Russia and you try to watch on the MatchTV stream then you’ll be blocked but by using an app known as a ‘VPN‘ you can avoid this block allowing you to watch El Clasico anywhere in the world.
While watching is free a VPN app will cost you a couple of US dollars.
They’re available from hundreds of different companies but I recommend Surfshark. Not only are they cheap but they’re also fast which means you won’t suffer from buffering at a critical moment such as a goal.
