Top Madrid sports teams

Madrid breathes football, with two of Europe’s most successful clubs plus other teams and venues that keep the sporting calendar busy year‑round. From league fixtures and European nights to tours and special matches, there are many ways to experience live sport in the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid at the Bernabéu

Real Madrid play their home games at the newly renovated Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on the Paseo de la Castellana, one of world football’s most famous arenas. The revamped stadium features a retractable roof, updated seating, and modern facilities, and it hosts La Liga, European fixtures, and a growing calendar of concerts and events.

As far as must-see events, the chance to see FC Barcelona visit the Bernabeu for an El Clasico clash each season is among the biggest sporting spectacles in the world, but the potential of a UEFA Champions League clash against the likes of Liverpool, Bayern Munich, AC Milan or any other European giant would also be an unbeatable experience.

Such is the popularity of Europe's most successful club side that pretty much any game they take part in, from the aforementioned classics to so-called 'lesser' La Liga clashes against the likes of Valencia, Celta Vigo or Real Sociedad, is packed to the rafters. This is where SeatPick then helps fans to get their hands on the best-value deals online.

Atletico Madrid at Metropolitano

Atlético de Madrid are based at Cívitas Metropolitano in the east of the city, a modern stadium with a capacity of around 68,000 that opened in 2017. Known for its intense atmosphere and strong sightlines, it regularly stages La Liga and European fixtures and has also been used for finals and special events.

Other football and sports venues

Rayo Vallecano’s Estadio de Vallecas offers a more intimate matchday experience in a traditional neighbourhood ground. Madrid also hosts basketball and other indoor sports at arenas such as WiZink Center, plus running events and multi‑sport competitions that make use of its parks and urban routes.

Top Madrid music venues

Madrid’s live‑music scene stretches from arena‑sized shows to club gigs, covering everything from pop and rock to Latin, flamenco fusion, and electronic music. Whether you want a global superstar or a local band, you will find a venue and neighbourhood that match your plans.

WiZink Center

WiZink Center, formerly Palacio de los Deportes, is one of Madrid’s main multi‑purpose arenas and a focal point for large concerts and events. With a capacity that can reach around 17,000 for concerts and flexible configurations, it regularly hosts major international tours and national stars across genres.

La Riviera

La Riviera is a well‑known live‑music club located by the Manzanares River, with a capacity of around 2,500 people. Its layout and size make it ideal for mid‑sized tours and club nights, and its calendar typically features both Spanish artists and international acts.

Other notable venues

Alongside WiZink Center and La Riviera, Madrid has many other venues and salas dedicated to live music, from historic stages to modern spaces. Smaller rooms and neighbourhood clubs across areas like Malasaña, Lavapiés, and La Latina ensure that there are gigs and showcases happening on most nights of the week.

Top Madrid theatre tickets

Madrid has a vibrant theatre and performing arts scene, with venues along Gran Vía and across the city staging musicals, plays, comedy, dance, and flamenco. Productions range from big‑budget Spanish‑language shows and adaptations to smaller, experimental work in more intimate spaces.

Gran Vía is often described as Madrid’s “Broadway”, with large theatres hosting long‑running musicals and popular shows. Elsewhere in the city, historic theatres and modern venues offer drama, classical and contemporary dance, and cabaret‑style performances, giving visitors and locals plenty of choice on any given night.
