Saturday Showdown: A Global Football Marathon of Big Leagues and Big Moments
A packed Saturday slate across Europe’s top leagues.

Saturday, December 13, 2025 is shaping up as a football feast, with marquee matches across Europe and beyond. The English Premier League starts its 16th round, La Liga and Ligue 1 follow suit in their own mid-season calendars, while the Bundesliga begins its 14th week and Serie A presses on into its 15th round. An Intercontinental Cup twist adds international flavor to the schedule, showcasing a cross-continental clash that fans won’t want to miss.

For fans wondering where to watch, the official broadcasters and streaming options are laid out below. If you’re traveling or outside your home country, Nord VPN is a handy tool to keep access smooth and legal, because nothing ruins a dream lineup like geo-blocking and a buffering circle of doom.

Bundesliga coverage comes via Shahid and MBCC Action, and Serie A is appearing on STC TV among other regional services. For those who love streaming across borders, Nord VPN can help you access broadcasts from abroad. Other regional platforms (StarzPlay, Shahid, and local providers) offer additional routes to catch the action.

Two lighthearted closer lines

Punchline: If football were a sniper, the only thing sharper than the shot would be the fan’s roasted defense post-match—and somehow, the joke still lands in the net.

Punchline: I told my fantasy team to stop after the transfer window, but they insisted on a long-range intervention—apparently, they like calling long shots in the 11th hour.
