Crystal Palace–Rayo Vallecano: kick-off time and where to watch the Conference League final
Rayo Vallecano play one of the most important nights in their history this Wednesday. Íñigo Pérez’s team face Crystal Palace in the UEFA Conference League final, an unprecedented fixture for the Madrid club and much of its support, used to experiencing great emotions away from the spotlight of European finals.
The match will take place this Wednesday, 27 May, at 21:00, at the Leipzig Stadium in Germany. There, Rayo will be aiming to win their first continental title against a Crystal Palace side also making a rare appearance in a European final in recent history.
In Spain, the final can be watched on Movistar Plus. It will also be available on the channels M+ Liga de Campeones, M+ Liga de Campeones HDR, Orange Fútbol 1, and LaLiga TV Bar, depending on your subscription.
For those who prefer to follow online, the option will be to do so through the digital platforms of the rights holders, especially Movistar Plus, always with an active subscription. The broadcast will allow you to watch the match live from your mobile, computer, tablet, or connected TV.
The final will also have a very Vallecana version in Madrid. The Community will set up three giant screens at the Estadio de Vallecas, one in front of each stand, so that fans who do not travel to Leipzig can watch the match together. The club has set ticket prices at 5 euros for the general public, with capacity for more than 14,700 people.
The occasion comes after a European campaign that is already part of Rayo's history. The Madrid side knocked out Samsunspor, AEK de Atenas, and Racing de Estrasburgo before reaching the final. Now, the last step will be against Crystal Palace, in a match that could change the club's European story forever.
For Vallecas, it won't just be a televised final. It will be a neighbourhood night, with bars full, franjirroja shirts, and people watching the screen as if the Leipzig Stadium were much closer. If you want to watch from home, you already know the channel; if you want to experience it in community, the stadium will be open. At 21:00, Rayo play far away, but Vallecas will also take to the pitch.
