Ian Darke, Steve McManaman (English), Fernando Palomo, Eduardo Biscayart, and reporter Martin Ainstein (Spanish) will call the match.
CD Leganés-Real Madrid notes:

- Real Madrid are the reigning champions of LALIGA and the UEFA Champions League.
- Club Deportivo Leganés earned automatic promotion to the first tier of Spanish football after a first-place finish in Segunda División (LALIGA 2) last season.
