You can watch Barcelona vs Real Betis for free tonight − on TV and online
The 2019/20 La Liga season got underway last weekend, but the Spanish top flight still hasn’t received any “satisfactory bids” from broadcasters for coverage in the UK and Ireland. Fortunately, there’s a temporary deal in place, which means you can watch tonight’s Barcelona vs Real Betis game for free, either on TV or online. Read on for all the details.
ITV struck a deal to show one game from each of the first three weeks of the La Liga season. Barcelona vs Real Betis is the second of those, and it could be a cracker. Real Betis took all three points on their last visit to the Camp Nou. They played the Blaugrana off the park on that occasion, running out 4-3 winners.
Barcelona vs Real Betis kick-off time
Tonight’s game is set to kick off at 8pm BST, which is 9pm local time in Barcelona.
Barcelona vs Real Betis TV channel

Barcelona vs Real Betis − Match preview
To the surprise of pretty much everyone, Barcelona lost their first game of the season, thanks to some last-minute acrobatics from veteran Athletic Bilbao striker Aritz Aduriz.
They’re desperate to bring Neymar back to the club, but the more pressing concern should be Barcelona’s apparent inability to do anything without Lionel Messi. The Argentine sat last weekend’s game out through injury, but could return tonight. Luis Suarez is also a doubt. No pressure on Antoine Griezmann, then.
Real Betis didn’t fare any better in their first game of the season though, going down 2-1 at home to last season’s strugglers, Real Valladolid.
