Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad tickets La Liga

The Santiago Bernabéu is one of Spanish football's great arenas, an 83,186-seat bowl in the heart of Madrid served directly by its own metro stop on line 10. Real Madrid hosted Real Sociedad here on Wednesday, August 26th, 2026 at 9pm, their first home outing of the campaign on matchday 1 of La Liga. The two clubs had met at this ground earlier that same year, a fixture that finished 4-1 to the hosts, matching the same scoreline the sides produced at the Bernabéu the previous season. With a crowd of that scale filling the tiers on a late-summer evening, the walk to the turnstiles was best started well ahead of kick-off. It was a fitting stage to open the league year for the Merengues.
