Málaga face Las Palmas on Wednesday 10 June 2026 in the second leg of their LaLiga 2 promotion play-offs, with the game kicking off at 8:00pm UK time at La Rosaleda.[1][2][3]

For viewers in the UK and Ireland, the match is available on LaLiga TV Hypermotion HD, LaLiga TV International HD, Premier Sports 1 HD, and on Premier Sports Player UK.[user]

The coverage will use the world feed, with Phil Kitromilides on main commentary alongside Rafa Cervera as co-commentator.[user]

Kitromilides is one of the most recognisable English-language voices in Spanish football coverage, having built a long-standing reputation as a commentator on La Liga and European matches, while Cervera has also been a regular presence on Spanish football broadcasts as a pundit and co-commentator.[user]

The tie is finely balanced after Málaga lead 1-0 on aggregate, which gives the home side a clear advantage heading into the decisive leg.[2][8]

That first-leg result means Las Palmas must push forward in Málaga, but the visitors know one goal could change the entire mood of the contest.[2][8]

La Rosaleda, which has been Málaga’s home for decades, is expected to provide a lively atmosphere for a match that carries huge significance for both clubs’ seasons.[3][4]

Málaga and Las Palmas have developed a competitive recent head-to-head record, with Soccerway noting that the two sides had split their last five meetings fairly evenly before this play-off meeting.[5]

For British viewers, the main attraction is not just the stakes on the pitch but the familiar style of the world-feed broadcast, which tends to provide a clean, neutral presentation of the action and lets the football tell the story.[user]

The fixture is part of the wider LaLiga Hypermotion promotion race, and the winner will move one step closer to reaching Spain’s top flight.[7]

In a knockout tie like this, every set piece, every transition and every defensive mistake matters, so the commentary duo of Kitromilides and Cervera should have plenty to work with as the evening unfolds.[user]
