FC Barcelona open their quest for a second straight Spanish double when they travel to Léon to face third-division side Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa in the first leg of their Round of 32 tie in the Copa Del Rey.

To find out how to watch a live stream of the Cultural Leonesa vs. FC Barcelona Copa Del Rey Round of 32 match, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. Central European Time on Wednesday, October 31, at the 13,000-seat Estadio Reino de León in Léon, Castile and Léon, Spain.
Goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, as well as stars Gerard Piqué, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Philippe Coutinho, and Luis Suárez are expected to be among the big names taking the mid-week match off, per SB Nation. Lionel Messi remains absent with a broken arm, after also missing last weekend’s El Clasico match in which Barca smashed their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, 5-1.
Founded in 1923, Cultural Leonesa has never been promoted higher than Spain’s Second Division, according to Nos Gusta Léon, and will likely consider even sneaking a single goal in against the 30-time Copa Del Rey winners to be a major victory.
