Star signing Kylian Mbappé could make his competitive debut for Los Blancos today as Real Madrid and Atalanta lock horns in Warsaw, Poland, in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup final.
The annual curtain-raiser for European club soccer’s new season traditionally brings together the winners of last term’s UEFA Champions League and Europa League finals, with Real Madrid having triumphed over Dortmund in the UCL back in June and Atalanta having beaten the seemingly invincible Bayer Leverkusen to lift the Europa League.
While the match looks set to serve as Mbappé’s grand entrance for his new side, following his move from PSG in the summer, the game will also shine a light on how Atalanta intend to manage without star man Gianluca Scamacca. The Italy striker is set for a lengthy period on on the sidelines after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury during preseason.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services for watching the match wherever you are in the world.
Today’s match sees Atalanta make their first appearance in the Super Cup final. A win for Real Madrid in today’s game would meanwhile see Real Madrid go past Barcelona and AC Milan with a record-breaking sixth Super Cup victory.

How to watch Real Madrid vs. Atalanta online from anywhere using a VPN
If you’re unable to view the Super Cup final locally, you may need a different way to watch the games — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
