Below is the calendar of upcoming Betis matches in Seville for the 2025–2026 season. The table focuses on fixtures that will take place in the city, including home games of Real Betis at the Estadio de La Cartuja during the stadium renovation period.

Kickoff times for La Liga matches are sometimes confirmed only a few weeks in advance, so some fixtures may initially appear with times marked as TBD. The schedule is updated regularly as official information becomes available.

*Note: Times for April and May are provisional. La Liga usually confirms the final kickoff 10–14 days before the matchday.

Understanding kickoff confirmations (the 10-day rule)

The most common mistake travelers make when planning to see Betis matches is assuming the date listed months in advance is set in stone. In La Liga, the fixture list is updated throughout the season, and kickoff times are typically confirmed only a few days before the match.

The 10–14 day confirmation window

As of March 2026, La Liga officially confirms the exact day and hour of a match only 10 to 14 days before the weekend in question.

• The Sunday placeholder: If you see a match listed for Sunday in April or May without a specific time, that is simply a placeholder. The game could actually be played on Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday night.
• The Monday night rule: Following a 2025 Supreme Court ruling, La Liga now has the full right to schedule matches on Mondays and Fridays. Every club, including Betis, is required to play at least one Monday night fixture per season.

The Europa League shift

Because Real Betis is competing in the 2025–2026 UEFA Europa League, their domestic schedule is heavily influenced by their European success.

• The Thursday-Sunday rule: If Betis plays a Europa League match on a Thursday (like the Round of 16 against Panathinaikos on March 19), their following La Liga match will never be on a Friday or Saturday. It will almost certainly be moved to Sunday evening or Monday night to allow for player recovery.
• Travel tip: If you’re booking flights to see a Thursday night European game at La Cartuja, always ensure you stay until at least Tuesday morning, as the following league game will likely be a Monday night double-header for the city.

Sandra’s 2026 strategy: To avoid missing the match, I recommend the ‘Friday-to-Tuesday’ booking. By arriving in Seville on Friday afternoon and leaving on Tuesday morning, you’re 100% guaranteed to be in the city for the match, regardless of whether TV rightsholders move it to a Friday opener or a Monday closer.

No Betis Match During Your Visit? Check Sevilla FC

In a football-obsessed city like Seville, you are almost never more than a few days away from a world-class match. Because Real Betis and Sevilla FC traditionally alternate their home schedules, if the Béticos are playing away, it is highly likely that Sevilla FC is hosting a game in the heart of the city.

While Betis is currently playing at La Cartuja, Sevilla FC is still playing in their traditional home, the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. Their own reconstruction project has been moved to June 2027, so they will stay in Nervión for another full year.

*Note: Kickoff times for matches in April and May are typically confirmed by La Liga 10–14 days before the event.

Why is Real Betis playing at La Cartuja in 2026?

If you were expecting to visit the iconic Estadio Benito Villamarín in Heliópolis, you’ll find it currently looks like a massive construction site.

As of March 2026, Real Betis is in the middle of a €100 million redevelopment project. The old Preferente (West) stand has been completely demolished to make way for a state-of-the-art legendary grandstand. To allow construction to move at full speed, the club has moved all home Betis matches to the Estadio de La Cartuja for the 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 seasons.

What this means for your visit:

• The atmosphere: While La Cartuja is an Olympic-style stadium, the Betis fans (Béticos) have done an incredible job of bringing their “green and white” energy to the venue. Expect 50,000+ fans for big games.
• Seating: Since La Cartuja is larger than the Villamarín, tickets for standard Betis matches are actually easier to find this season than in previous years.
• The future: The club plans to return to a fully enclosed, 60,000-seat Benito Villamarín in August 2027.

Sandra’s 2026 logistics tip: Don’t go to the Heliópolis district on matchday! La Cartuja is located on the opposite side of the city (Isla de la Cartuja). I’ve put together a complete guide to La Cartuja Stadium including the best shuttle bus routes and where to find the fan zones.

Ticket advice for visitors: How to get in

In 2026, the “Betis ticket struggle” is a bit of a myth. While the Benito Villamarín used to sell out quite fast, the 57,000+ capacity of La Cartuja means that for most Betis matches, finding a seat is easier and often cheaper than in previous seasons.

• When to buy: Official tickets typically go on sale 7–10 days before kickoff. For most La Liga games (except the Big 3), you can often find tickets on the official website even 48 hours before the match.
• Why it’s easier now: The exile to La Cartuja has provided a surplus of nearly 15,000 tickets per game that didn’t exist before. However, the club still gives priority to Soy Bético members, so the best Lower Tier seats disappear first.
• The “Sold Out” exception: The only matches where you must act weeks in advance are against Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and the Seville Derby. For these, the official site will show “Sold Out” almost immediately, so I suggest you use my preferred verified resale platform to get in.

Sandra’s 2026 advice: If the official Betis site asks for a membership number or looks complicated, don’t panic. It’s often simpler for international travelers to use StubHub International. It’s in English, accepts all major credit cards, and handles the Mobile Transfer process which is mandatory at La Cartuja this season.

Need help? I’ve got you covered! I put together a handy guide with all the details (prices, seating options, and availability), so you’ll know exactly what to expect before you buy.

The stadium and how to get there

While Real Betis is “the pride of Heliópolis,” remember that in 2026, the matches are NOT at the Benito Villamarín. You’re heading to the Estadio de La Cartuja on the northern island of the city.

• Transport (the best option): Take the Special TUSSAM Matchday Shuttle. It departs from the Blas Infante Metro Station with a stop at Torre Sevilla starting 2 hours before kickoff. It’s fast, cheap, and drops you right at the stadium gates.
• Renfe Cercanías: If you’re staying near Santa Justa, take the C-2 train to the “Estadio Olímpico” stop. It’s a 15-minute journey, and Renfe doubles the frequency of trains on matchdays.
• The Barqueta walk: For a truly local experience, walk across the Puente de la Barqueta. You’ll join thousands of fans in green and white singing their way across the river.

Real Betis Balompié: Club honors

Real Betis is defined by its motto: “¡Viva el Betis manquepierda!” (Long live Betis, even when they lose!). It reflects a fanbase that values loyalty and passion over a trophy cabinet. However, the club has a proud history of success in Spanish football.

• La Liga Champions: 1934–35.
• Copa del Rey winners: 1977, 2005, 2022.
• European presence: Regular competitors in the UEFA Europa League and Conference League throughout the 2020s.
