Monday Football Marathon: Today's Matches, Broadcasters, and Commentators
Monday’s football action across leagues with TV channels and commentators.

Today football fans face a busy Monday, October 27, 2025, as several leagues roll on and transfer chatter slows to a murmur. The schedule spans Europe, the Gulf, and North Africa, with kickoff times listed in local daylight and TV cabinets ready for action.

In Spain, the ninth round of La Liga approaches its close, and attention centers on Real Betis hosting Atletico Madrid. In Saudi Arabia, the King’s Cup continues with a Round of 16 lineup, and in Egypt the Premier League options heat up as teams chase key points. The day closes with Saudi First Division fixtures that keep the calendar buzzing into the night.

What channels broadcast today's matches?

La Liga games are carried by beIN SPORTS, with live streaming via the official TOD TV app for fans who prefer clicking and watching. The King’s Cup matches air on SSC channels and Shahid’s streaming service. In Egypt, ON Sports provides the domestic coverage of the Premier League. For fans watching from anywhere in the world, Nord VPN is a popular option to access regional broadcasts, where permitted by the rights holder.

Today's fixtures by competition

La Liga: Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid kicks off late, at 23:00 in Saudi Arabia and 00:00 in the United Arab Emirates, with beIN SPORTS 3 carrying the match and Mohammed Barakat on the mic.

Saudi King’s Cup – Round of 16: The day’s quartet of fixtures includes Gulf against Al Cooperation at 17:35 in Saudi time (18:35 in UAE), Al-Fath versus Al-Riyadh at 17:35 (18:35 UAE), Al-Khulood vs Al-Najmah at 18:00 (19:00 UAE), and Al-Batin versus Al Ahli at 21:00 (22:00 UAE). All four are listed on The Eight channel with the usual lineup of commentators including Rashid Al-Dosry, Abdulilah Al-Omari, Fahd Al-Anzi, and Suleiman Al-Sherif.

Egyptian Premier League: Al Ittihad (Egypt) hosts Wadi Degla at 20:00 in Egypt (21:00 UAE). Earlier, Smouha faces El Gouna at 17:00 (18:00 UAE). The ON Sport channels are the designated broadcasters and Bilal Alam and Mohammad Al-Ghaity chair the commentary.

Saudi First Division: Al Bukairiya versus Al Wehdah (Al Wehda) at 18:10 (19:10 UAE), Al Tai against Al Ola at 18:10 (19:10 UAE), and Jeddah vs Al Adalah at 20:00 (21:00 UAE) on the Eight app, with Sultan Al-Harbi, Mishaal Al-Shammari, and Hani Al-Shahri as the pundits for this trio of evenings.

For the full schedule, you can refer to the Kooora calendar link, which compiles every listed kick-off in one place.

And that’s your quick guide to Monday’s football action. If you’re chasing a reliable stream from abroad, remember: a VPN may unlock options—but check your local rights and terms first. Now, after you press play, you can blame your calendar for not taking a coffee break—soccer earned the privilege of your attention today.

Punchline time: My calendar asked if football could be a priority. I told it, “Sure, but only if the fixture list comes with a built-in coffee break.” Another line: If watching from abroad is a crime, I plead guilty of loving football more than my GPS loves directions.
