La Liga Price Index - The Cheapest Countries in the World to watch La Liga

The La Liga Price Index is a price comparison tool that tells you how much La Liga fans pay to watch matches in various countries worldwide. We hand-picked 20 nations spread across 6 continents and listed the cheapest price in each place to access as many La Liga games of the 2024/25 season as possible. Many of the countries on this list have a lasting football heritage based on the size of their domestic leagues, performances of their national teams in international tournaments, and co-efficient rankings. Other countries may have a low level of notoriety in the game but are very relevant to the sport right now. Then there are growing football markets with huge potential. This index is regularly updated to reflect economic changes, broadcasting rights changes, latest offers and other factors. However, if you feel there is anything we need to include with this data, please feel free to contact us with any tips or deals you are aware of. If you know of a way to watch La Liga at a lower price where you are, drop us a line and tell us. We would be very happy to update the La Liga Price Index if any of this information is wrong or should change, and we would value your help in making those changes.

It is important to bear in mind that this is not a definitive list of all the countries in the world which air coverage of La Liga, and that there are likely countries in the world where one could pay less or more to watch La Liga than those listed here. It is a list of 20 noteworthy football-loving nations and the prices their citizens must pay to watch La Liga. It takes into account the cheapest possible TV or live streaming options in each country which a fan can use to watch as many La Liga games as possible during the 2024/25 season.

This list provides the annual cost of gaining access to as many La Liga matches as possible in a given market. In some cases, it isn't possible to access every single La Liga match of the season. However, in the majority of countries, fans can pay to get access to every game of the season and choose which ones they want to enjoy each game week.

The prices displayed in the index also represent the absolute cheapest possible approach to getting the most games. In the case of some rights holders, a monthly subscription to a single live-streaming platform is the cheapest way. In others, a fan must pay for multiple broadcasters to cover all of the different matches available. Fans living in countries where the rights space is dominated by big pay-TV broadcasters like Sky, beIN and Canal+ tend to get a rough deal, while those fortunate enough to live in places where the rights are owned by streamers like Viaplay, Star+ and other monthly subscription, OTT platforms usually enjoy much more competitive prices.

Some broadcasters, which hold exclusive rights to La Liga, require the consumer to sign a 12-month or 24-month contract to sign up, while others - especially streamers - can often be cancelled anytime, meaning a fan only needs to pay for the 10-month La Liga season and then cancel their membership during the summer off-season to save money. However, it sometimes works out cheaper to sign a one-year contract than pay monthly for 10 months and cancel.

Some of the prices listed here are astronomically lower than others. It is important to take into account the average salary of people living in those places, and the availability of internet access and TV subscriptions. This index is purely designed to lay out the differences in price for comparison purposes. It does not suggest that watching La Liga football is necessarily easier from country to country. That would depend on the individual circumstances of the fan.

After determining the absolute cheapest way to take, involving the fewest subscriptions possible, to gain access to the maximum number of games possible in all 20 countries, our team did the calculations to come up with a per-season figure for watching La Liga in each place.

Here's what we found:

Unsurprisingly, Spain is the most expensive country in the world to watch La Liga. It makes sense that the Spanish top flight would be most popular in its home market, as is also the case with the German Bundesliga. However, the price which fans must pay is staggering. Premier League fans in the UK rightly complain of astronomical prices to watch their favourite teams but perhaps they should be grateful not to be a Real Madrid or Barcelona fan living in Spain. With the rights being shared by linear TV giant Movistar and live streaming behemoth DAZN, fans must pay almost £1000 a year to get access to all La Liga games, almost three times more than anywhere else on our list. It's an obscene amount of money, but judging by the perceived growth of Movistar every year, one which the Spanish people are willing to pay.

Next on the list come the likes of Hong Kong, Italy and Germany, countries with high average incomes, and in the case of the latter two, huge numbers of football fans among their populations. Norway and Costa Rica are also in the top six most expensive countries on the list, which makes sense given the prosperity of the two countries. Also in the top 10 most expensive countries are nations like Poland, France and the Netherlands. These are again football-loving nations with growing or established economies in the west.

One surprising entrant into the top 10 is Mexico. While football is huge there and there is a lot of interest in the Spanish top flight, the economic situation in the country means their inclusion in somewhat of a shock. This is likely another case of fans suffering due to the media rights being in the hands of a legacy brand, in this case Sky Mexico.

Canadians, Americans, Brits and Australians are all enjoying very good deals for following La Liga, all paying less than £100 a season total, which is a phenomenal deal considering the interest in the sport in those countries and the economic situations there. For Brits to be paying less than Mexicans, and considerably so, to follow La Liga football is quite the eyebrow-raiser.

Morocco and Turkey are both paying very nominal fees to follow their favourite La Liga clubs of between £10-20 a season. However, the winner of this season has to be India. Fans of La Liga in India can watch completely FREE on Galaxy Racer. The esports platform has the rights to the Spanish top flight and airs matches for no cost whatsoever via live streaming!
