Barcelona will officially seal a 28th La Liga title if they beat their local Catalan rivals Espanyol on Thursday night.

Barcelona are four points clear of arch-rivals Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, with this being a game in hand and only two games to follow it.

Despite exiting the Champions League in the semi-finals, La Liga glory would crown a fantastic season for Hansi Flick's side, who have already won the Copa Del Rey, beating Madrid in the final. They also beat Madrid in La Liga recently, which effectively bagged them the title, but they still need to get over the line.

In this guide, we have all the details on how to watch Barcelona vs Espanyol live streams, wherever you are in the world.
