The Spanish League has announced a change in the date of the Madrid Derby between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, to be held on Saturday, September 27, instead of the previous date which was Sunday, September 28.

The kickoff is scheduled for 5:15 PM Saudi time, 6:15 PM UAE time.
This adjustment aligns with the commitments of Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, as both teams will play their matches in the second round of the group stage on Tuesday, September 30.
