The football break is over and the action continues with the Premier League, LALIGA and Serie A lighting up the screens from Friday 12 to Sunday 15 September.
The LALIGA spotlight turns to San Sebastián, where Real Sociedad welcome Real Madrid in what could be a pivotal match as the title race warms up.
Sociedad remain hampered by key absences, most notably captain Mikel Oyarzabal, sidelined with a knee injury, plus the long-term losses of Hamari Traoré, Brais Méndez, and Arsen Zakharyan.
Real Madrid arrive buoyed by the return to full training of Jude Bellingham and Aurélien Tchouaméni, even if they’re not likely to start, while Eder Militao’s recovery from injury strengthens their backline alongside Antonio Rüdiger.
Though lesser fixtures like Sevilla v Elche, Getafe hosting Oviedo, and Atletico Madrid versus Villarreal will stir local passions, the Basque capital promises top-tier drama. Further south, the Camp Nou stage is set for a classic clash: Barcelona against Valencia.
While not yet ignited with the ferocity of a title decider, this fixture brings rich history and is a prime battleground for both sides to bounce back – or, if you like, to avoid falling behind teams like Celta Vigo versus Girona and Levante taking on Real Betis.
SuperSport’s pre-match analysis, range of camera angles, post-match banter, talk shows, and world-class commentary means you will squeeze every drop of enjoyment out of your football viewing.
Over in England, attention shifts to the Emirates, where Arsenal face Nottingham Forest in a test of hunger versus resilience. The Gunners continued to manage without the injured Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Bukayo Saka, thrusting Viktor Gyökeres, Leandro Trossard, and Eberechi Eze into leading roles.
Forest, under Nuno Espírito Santo, remain a surprising force, though worrying issues are cropping up. While other Premier League fixtures – like West Ham vs. Spurs or the heavyweight Manchester derby – carry their own weight, this London fixture pulses with youthful energy and strategic intrigue.
Speaking of that derby, Manchester City versus United promises its usual alchemy of rivalries and ambition. Yet, it’s Juventus hosting Inter Milan that dominates the headlines in Serie A.
The Derby d’Italia is steeped in history, with this being the 184th league meeting – Juventus oppressing the head-to-head record historically yet Inter unbeaten in their last three face-offs.
It is a clash heavy with narrative, though overshadowed by the sensational Fiorentina v Napoli fixture, where the reigning champions look to continue their pace and Florence looks to disrupt the balance.
Of course, this weekend also includes other Serie A battles: Roma vs Torino, Atalanta’s trip to Lecce, and AC Milan’s response to their shocking recent home defeat as they aim to reset momentum. Each adds color to the broader story of leagues finding their rhythm early in the season.
In summary, this weekend offers some of the most tantalising fixtures across Europe: Real Sociedad seeking resistance at home against a returning Real Madrid, Barcelona chasing rhythm against Valencia, Arsenal navigating absences to contain a battle-hardened Forest, the eternal magnetism of the Manchester derby, and Italy’s own season-defining matchups with Derby d’Italia and Fiorentina’s high-stakes encounter with Napoli – all threaded through with the usual supporting fixtures that ensure drama unfolds across every table.
