How to Watch Osasuna v Alavés (LaLiga) — Commentators, Pundits and Where to Tune In

The LaLiga fixture between Osasuna and Deportivo Alavés kicks off at 17:30 UK time on Saturday 20 December 2025, and will be available to viewers on several international feeds including DAZN Italia, LaLiga TV International HD and Premier Sports 2 / Premier Sports Player in the UK and ROI; all three channels are carrying the world feed audio for commentary in this match where the world feed commentators are the lead voice Paul Giblin alongside co‑commentator Gaizka Mendieta (match details and kick‑off time confirmed by LaLiga’s official match listing).

British viewers watching on Premier Sports Player (UK) or Premier Sports 2 HD (UK and ROI) will hear the same world feed commentary team — the broadcast is using the international world feed rather than a bespoke home‑market commentary team, which is common for many overseas LaLiga broadcast partners (DAZN Italia and LaLiga TV International HD are likewise using the world feed for this fixture). (FOX Sports match listing)<\/a> (SofaScore match preview)<\/a>

The world feed commentary team announced for this match lists Paul Giblin as the main commentator and Gaizka Mendieta as co‑commentator. This world feed audio is supplied to international broadcasters and used by channel partners that opt not to overlay their own presenters and pundits. The use of Gaizka Mendieta — a well‑known former Spain international and Valencia midfielder who later moved into media and punditry — gives the feed a strong tactical and Spanish football pedigree, while Paul Giblin provides the play‑by‑play voice for the international audience (the match schedule and world feed credits are reflected in LaLiga’s match information).

Which TV channels and streaming services are showing the match?

• DAZN Italia — Listed as carrying the fixture using the world feed (geo‑restricted / subscription service). DAZN’s Italy service commonly takes the international feed for overseas LaLiga matches rather than producing a local commentary team for every game. (SofaScore match preview)<\/a>
• LaLiga TV International HD — The competition’s own international channel will carry the fixture using the world feed commentary; LaLiga TV International is aimed at overseas markets and typically uses the official world feed audio and graphics for many matches. (LaLiga match page)<\/a>
• Premier Sports 2 HD (UK & ROI) and Premier Sports Player (UK) — Premier Sports are listed as showing the match on their channel and streaming platform; for this fixture they are taking the world feed commentators rather than running an exclusive UK commentary team (Premier Sports normally carry a mix of their own coverage and world feed depending on rights and scheduling).

Practical tips

• Check your local streaming app and rights: DAZN subscribers in Italy should find the match on DAZN Italia, while international viewers should look for LaLiga TV International or Premier Sports details in the UK/ROI. (SofaScore match preview)<\/a>
• If you prefer UK presenters and pundits, verify whether Premier Sports will opt to layer local presentation over the world feed — for this fixture the published listings show the world feed audio is being used. (LaLiga match page)<\/a>
