What time is the Valencia vs Atlético Madrid match on May 2?

Match Details

The Valencia vs Atlético Madrid fixture is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2026, at Mestalla Stadium in Valencia as part of LaLiga EA Sports Matchday 34. The match will kick off at 16:15 Spain time, which corresponds to 10:15 ET for US viewers and 08:15 for Mexico.

Atlético Madrid's Situation

Atlético de Madrid arrives at Mestalla in fourth place with 60 points. A victory would virtually secure their Champions League qualification for 2026/27 and allow them to arrive with confidence for their upcoming Champions League semifinal second leg against Arsenal. Manager Diego Simeone has made extensive rotations, making eleven changes from the previous match, with only Le Normand among the established players starting.

Valencia's Position

Valencia sits in 12th place with 39 points and has not yet mathematically secured their First Division status. A win at home would push them eight points clear of the relegation zone and move them into contention for European qualification. Valencia will look to capitalize on Atlético's rotated lineup and their home advantage.
