Real Madrid will be hoping to close the gap on La Liga leaders Barcelona when they host in-form Villareal on Saturday.

Carlo Ancelotti's men suffered their first defeat in 258 days in midweek when they surprisingly lost to Lille in the Champions League and, despite five wins in their first seven games, they have looked less than convincing so far this season.

Villareal are just a point behind the hosts today, with Marcelino's Yellow Submarine having won five of their first eight La Liga games, with them currently only surpassing leaders Barca.

Real Madrid face Villareal at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday October 5th. Kickoff is scheduled 9 p.m. CEST local time, making it one 3:00 p.m. ET and 12:00 p.m. PT Launch in the USA; a 8 p.m Launching in the UK and a 5am ​​AEST Opening in Australia on Sunday.

Here's how to watch La Liga from anywhere with a VPN

If you can't watch La Liga games locally, you may need another way to watch the games – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It's also a good idea if you're traveling and connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

A VPN allows you to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to gain access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice ExpressVPN, make this really easy.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you are streaming. You should make sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even if VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming La Liga via a VPN

• With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success streaming La Liga matches may vary.
• If you don't see your desired location as the default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “Search by city or country” option.
• If you're having trouble receiving the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and ensure that the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing range. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file in your account. Second, some smart TVs – like Roku – don't have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (such as your phone) so that every device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main page for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases, with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you may be asked to confirm a numeric code or click a link that is sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. A VPN on your router also helps here, as both devices appear to be in the correct location.
• Keep in mind that browsers can often reveal a location despite using a VPN. Therefore, make sure you use a privacy-focused browser to log into your services. We usually recommend Brave.
