Villarreal host Espanyol in LaLiga Matchday 11 at Estadio de la Cerámica on Friday, 30 October 2026. The independently corroborated kickoff is 20:00 UTC, which converts to 01:30 IST on Saturday, 31 October. The official LaLiga match listing marks the fixture as scheduled and identifies it as Matchday 11.

Verified match details

  • Villarreal vs Espanyol
  • LaLiga Matchday 11
  • Friday, 30 October 2026
  • 20:00 UTC / 01:30 IST on 31 October
  • Estadio de la Cerámica

The timing is supported by ESPN’s UTC timestamp, 2026-10-30T20:00Z, and FotMob’s explicit “8:00 PM UTC” listing. The two records also agree on the teams and LaLiga context, while LaLiga’s own match page supplies the official competition listing, venue and matchday identity.

How the teams arrive

Villarreal’s latest listed LaLiga result was a 2-1 win away to Valencia on 24 October. Espanyol’s latest listed league result was a 2-1 defeat away to Racing Santander on the same date. Both sides then played Copa del Rey first-round matches on 27 October: Villarreal won 5-0 at Manacor, while Espanyol lost 4-3 at Sestao.

Those results provide the immediate match context without turning a schedule preview into a prediction. No lineups, captains or tactical claims are included because the cited schedule and match pages do not establish them as confirmed matchday facts.
