Real Madrid continue their pre-season preparations this Wednesday with an exciting friendly against Deportivo de La Coruña at the iconic Riazor stadium. José Mourinho’s side will take part in the 81st edition of the Teresa Herrera Trophy, one of the most historic summer tournaments in Spanish football.
The match will kick off at 9:00 PM local time in Spain and represents another important test for the Madrid squad ahead of the start of the official 2026/27 season.
After their previous pre-season matches against Fiorentina and Ferencváros, Real Madrid will be looking to continue improving their fitness, tactical organisation and understanding of Mourinho’s ideas. The Portuguese coach is expected to once again give opportunities to several members of his squad as well as some promising youngsters.
For supporters around the world, here are some of the main kick-off times for Deportivo vs Real Madrid:
- Spain, France, Germany, Italy: 9:00 PM
- United Kingdom: 8:00 PM
- Senegal, Ivory Coast: 7:00 PM
- Morocco: 8:00 PM
- Argentina, Uruguay: 4:00 PM
- Brazil: 4:00 PM
- United States – New York: 3:00 PM
- United States – Los Angeles: 12:00 PM
- Mexico City: 1:00 PM
- Saudi Arabia: 10:00 PM
- United Arab Emirates: 11:00 PM
The meeting will be particularly interesting because Real Madrid are approaching the final stage of their summer preparations. Mourinho has been assessing his squad throughout pre-season, testing different combinations and giving several players the chance to convince him before competitive football begins.
The Teresa Herrera Trophy also carries plenty of tradition. Real Madrid have won the competition several times throughout their history, with previous triumphs coming in 1949, 1953, 1966, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1994 and 2013. A victory at Riazor would therefore give the Spanish giants their tenth Teresa Herrera title.
Deportivo, meanwhile, will have the advantage of playing in front of their supporters at Riazor and will be determined to make the evening difficult for Mourinho’s men. Although it is officially a pre-season encounter, the atmosphere surrounding the Teresa Herrera Trophy traditionally gives the match a competitive edge.

All eyes will therefore be on Riazor as Deportivo and Real Madrid battle for the 81st Teresa Herrera Trophy.
