The most successful club in UEFA Champions League history gets its 2025/26 campaign up and running on Tuesday as Real Madrid begins its quest for a record-stretching 16th title with a home game against Marseille.

Real had a somewhat disappointing tournament by its standards last season, with Los Blancos exiting at the quarterfinal stage at the hands of Arsenal. The Spanish giant has made a strong start to the domestic season under new boss Xabi Alonso, with four wins from its opening four games to put it top of La Liga ahead of rivals Barcelona.
It's been 13 years since Marseille last reached the knockout stage of this tournament, and over three decades since it last won European football's most prestigious trophy. Les Phocéens have been an unpredictable team under head coach Roberto De Zerbi and have made a suitably mixed start to Ligue 1 this term. But they come into this match off the back of a morale-boosting 4-0 hammering of Lorient at the Stade Vélodrome last Friday.
Real Madrid takes on Marseille at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday, Sept. 16. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET, making it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US, an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Wednesday.
