As a long-time Atlético Madrid supporter, I compile a complete fixture schedule at the start of every season and pin it to my wall. This season, the Colchoneros continue to compete on multiple fronts under Simeone’s leadership, so I’ve gathered all the match dates across various competitions, including the Atlético Madrid squad list, to share with everyone.
Key La Liga Fixtures
This season’s La Liga kicks off in mid-August, with Atlético’s opening match being an away fixture against Villarreal. Pay special attention to the brutal schedule in October and November, when we face Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Sevilla in quick succession—a massive test of the team’s fitness and form. There’s a one-week winter break around Christmas, giving the players a rare opportunity to rest and recharge.
Below are some important match dates so you can plan your viewing schedule ahead of time:
| Date | Fixture | Venue | Kick-off Time |
|---|
| October 6 | Atlético vs Real Sociedad | Wanda Metropolitano | 21:00 |
| October 20 | Real Madrid vs Atlético | Bernabéu | 21:00 |
| November 10 | Atlético vs Alavés | Wanda Metropolitano | 18:30 |
| December 1 | Barcelona vs Atlético | Camp Nou | 21:00 |
| December 22 | Atlético vs Getafe | Wanda Metropolitano | 16:15 |
Champions League Group Stage Schedule
In the Champions League, we’ve been drawn into a reasonably challenging group. The opening match on September 19 at home against Lazio is crucial—securing a winning start is vital for progressing from the group. October features two back-to-back away fixtures against Celtic and Feyenoord, both teams known for their intense home atmospheres, so hopefully our players can handle the pressure.
The Copa del Rey schedule is relatively straightforward, with the Round of 32 expected in early December, though the specific opponents await the draw. Based on past experience, Simeone typically rotates the squad in cup competitions, giving fringe players more opportunities and testing our squad depth.
Match-Going Tips
Finally, a reminder for those planning to attend matches in person: ticket prices at the Wanda Metropolitano have increased again this season, so purchasing a membership package from the official website is more cost-effective. For major matches like Atlético Madrid vs Barcelona derbies or Champions League fixtures, book tickets at least two weeks in advance. Parking around the stadium is extremely limited, so taking Metro Line 7 to Estadio Metropolitano station is the most convenient option.
Hope this fixture schedule helps all my fellow Colchoneros. Let’s support Atlético together and hope the team achieves great results across all competitions. Feel free to leave comments below with questions or additional information.
