A matchday at the Santiago Bernabéu
The Bernabéu has reopened after a spectacular redevelopment — a retractable pitch, a wraparound metallic skin and a 360° video ring — making a Real Madrid matchday one of the most impressive experiences in the game. It sits right on the Paseo de la Castellana in the heart of Madrid.
Getting there and planning your trip
The Santiago Bernabéu metro stop (line 10) is at the ground, and much of Madrid is a few stops away. La Liga kick-off dates and times move for television, so confirm the fixture below before booking non-refundable travel, then stay anywhere central on the metro — you don't need to be next to the stadium.
Ticket access
Limited
Real Madrid opens sales in priority phases before the general public; public access is subject to remaining availability and can be very tight for major fixtures.
