Want All Football This Season? You'll Need Movistar or Orange 2026

If you want to watch all football this season, there is no other way: you have to go through Movistar or Orange. The days when you could see LaLiga and the Champions League regardless of your operator are long gone. Now, tying yourself to one of these two telecom giants is the only way to access every match of every competition.

This shift happened after the old model—where you could simply subscribe to a streaming platform like BeIN Sports or MiTele Plus—collapsed. Since then, Movistar and Orange have secured the necessary agreements, paying millions of euros, to broadcast all matches in Spain. For football fans, it means opening your wallet wide: the cheapest packages hover around 100 euros per month.

Why Movistar and Orange Dominate Football Broadcasting

The current landscape is defined by exclusive rights. LaLiga matches are split between Movistar Plus and DAZN, so each week half the games are on DAZN and the other half on Movistar Plus LaLiga. However, three full matchdays are broadcast exclusively on Movistar Plus.

Movistar has an agreement with DAZN to offer DAZN LaLiga matches through Movistar Plus. Additionally, Movistar holds the rights to all UEFA club competitions—Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. This makes Movistar the most comprehensive option for football fans.

Orange, on the other hand, offers a competitive package that includes LaLiga and Champions League, but it may not cover every single match. The key is that both operators have invested heavily to secure these rights, and they pass the cost onto consumers.

What You Get with Each Operator

Understanding what each package includes is crucial before committing. Movistar's football offering is extensive: it includes all LaLiga matches (via its own channels and DAZN), all UEFA club competitions, and additional sports content. Orange provides access to LaLiga and Champions League, but the full suite may vary.

For this season, Movistar remains the only operator that offers every match of every competition. Orange comes close but might not have the same breadth. The table below summarizes the key differences.

Key Takeaways for Football Fans

• Only Movistar and Orange offer comprehensive football coverage in Spain.
• Movistar provides access to all UEFA competitions and DAZN LaLiga matches.
• Expect to pay around €100 per month for a full football package.
• Orange is a slightly cheaper alternative but may lack some competitions.
• Streaming platforms alone no longer suffice for watching all football.

The Cost of Watching Every Match

Price is the biggest hurdle for many fans. Movistar's football package starts at around €100 per month, which includes fiber, mobile, and television. Orange's offering is similarly priced, often with promotional discounts for new customers.

These prices reflect the soaring cost of broadcasting rights. Operators pay hundreds of millions to secure LaLiga and Champions League rights, and those costs are inevitably passed to subscribers. For die-hard fans, it's a price worth paying; for casual viewers, it's a significant investment. The background to this story is set out in Movistar Plus: Watch LaLiga and Champions for €9.99 a Month. A related thread runs through Free Football Weekend: Watch 40+ Matches on DAZN and Movistar Plus. Earlier coverage in Movistar Plus Balón de Oro 2025: Exclusive Gala and Sports shows how the argument developed.

What to Watch Next

The football broadcasting landscape is constantly evolving. Rights are renegotiated every few years, and new players could enter the market. However, for the current season, Movistar and Orange are your only options. A closer look at the same subject appears in Movistar Plus Plan Libre: 9.99 Euros for LaLiga and Champions League.

If you're considering switching, evaluate your viewing habits: do you need every match, or just the big games? Movistar's comprehensive package is ideal for completists, while Orange might suffice for those who follow specific teams. Either way, be prepared to commit to a contract.
