When and where to watch Valencia v FC Barcelona
Barça really can't afford any more slip-ups, but Saturday brings a traditionally very tricky away trip to Mestalla, home of Valencia. It's an absolute must-win, because space has opened up between Barça and the top two in the Liga title race, and it's essential not to allow that gap to get any wider. So, this is going to be a nervy game for Barça fans worldwide, and on this page we'll help you work out what time the 9pm CET Saturday start will be in your part of the world, and which channels hold the rights to broadcast the game.
If you are unable to watch for whatever reason, or if you wish to complement your viewing with second screen info, don’t forget that we have full coverage of the game, including the build-up live from the stadium and post-match reactions in our Match Center right here on the official website.
