Real Madrid have confirmed that the match will be shown on Realmadrid TV, while additional U.S. streaming listings are available through FOX One on Prime Video and Fubo.

How to watch Real Madrid vs Fiorentina in the United States
For U.S. viewers, Prime Video currently lists the match through its FOX One channel at 12:00 p.m. EDT. The listing advertises a FOX One trial for eligible users, but access terms can depend on the subscriber’s account and location.
Fubo also carries a listing for Real Madrid against Fiorentina. As with Prime Video, viewers should check current subscription requirements and trial eligibility before kickoff rather than assuming the game will be universally available for free.
Real Madrid have also confirmed Realmadrid TV as the club’s official broadcaster. The channel has a live page on the club’s website and is connected to Real Madrid’s wider digital platform, although regional broadcasting restrictions may affect availability outside Spain.
The safest approach for U.S. supporters is to check the Prime Video FOX One listing or Fubo shortly before kickoff. Fans can also test the official Realmadrid TV feed, but should be prepared for territorial restrictions.
Can Real Madrid vs Fiorentina be watched for free?
In Spain, OKDIARIO reports that the match will be available live through Realmadrid TV, which is carried free-to-air through the country’s digital terrestrial television system. Supporters can also access the club’s official digital channels for streaming coverage.
The situation is different in the United States. Prime Video’s FOX One listing and Fubo may present free-trial offers to eligible customers, but both are commercial streaming services. A trial is not the same as a permanently free broadcast, and conditions can vary by account.
Fans should avoid unofficial streams. Besides potential security and reliability problems, unauthorized broadcasts can disappear during the match. The official options provide the clearest route to stable coverage.
Why Real Madrid vs Fiorentina matters for Mourinho
The result will not define the season, but this is a more revealing test than Madrid’s earlier behind-closed-doors games. Fiorentina provide Serie A-level opposition in a stadium environment, allowing Mourinho to evaluate his tactical work against a stronger and more organized team.
Real Madrid’s final training session before the game included gym work, passing exercises, sprint series, tactical drills, a reduced-space match and finishing practice. Carlos Espí took part in his first session under Mourinho, while Dean Huijsen trained indoors and Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Éder Militão and Rodrygo continued their recovery programs.
Those absences mean Mourinho will again rely on a mixed squad featuring established first-team players and academy talent. That makes the game particularly useful for judging who can follow his tactical instructions and handle a higher level of preseason pressure.
Real Madrid squad against Fiorentina
Real Madrid’s official squad includes Andriy Lunin, Denzel Dumfries, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Álvaro Carreras, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Arda Güler and Endrick. New signing Carlos Espí has also been selected after joining first-team training.
The complete squad is:
Goalkeepers: Lunin, Sergio Mestre, Javi Navarro.
Defenders: Dumfries, Trent, Álvaro Carreras, Lamini, Joan Martínez, Fortea, Mario Rivas, Aimar García.
Midfielders: Camavinga, Valverde, Arda Güler, Cestero, Lacosta, Alexis Ciria.
Forwards: Endrick, Carlos Espí, Daniel Yáñez, Jacobo.
Dumfries is one of the most interesting names to watch. His inclusion gives Mourinho the opportunity to begin testing how the Dutch defender fits alongside or in competition with Trent on Madrid’s right side.
Endrick also has an important chance to make an impression after returning to the squad. With several senior attackers unavailable, the Brazilian should have an opportunity to show that he can occupy a meaningful place in Mourinho’s plans.
Carlos Espí adds another layer of interest. The forward completed his first training session on Friday and immediately made the traveling squad, giving supporters an early look at one of Madrid’s newest additions.
What Real Madrid fans should watch
The formation will be the first major clue. Mourinho has been working on tactical organization throughout preseason, and the Fiorentina match should show whether he prefers a conventional back four, how Trent and Dumfries are used, and where Arda Güler receives the ball.
The midfield balance will be equally important. Camavinga and Valverde offer athleticism and ball-winning ability, while Güler can provide creativity between the lines. Their positioning may reveal how Mourinho wants Madrid to control possession without losing defensive structure.
Set pieces are another area worth following. Mourinho has already devoted training time to tactical details and dead-ball situations, so corners and free kicks could offer an early glimpse of rehearsed movements.
Supporters should also watch the intensity without reading too much into the score. Preseason games are primarily designed to build fitness, test combinations and identify problems before competitive matches begin.
What happens next
After facing Fiorentina, Real Madrid are scheduled to continue their preseason against Ferencváros in Budapest on August 8. The club will then meet Deportivo La Coruña in the Teresa Herrera Trophy on August 12 before completing the final stages of preparation for La Liga.
That schedule means the Fiorentina game is only the beginning of Mourinho’s public preseason work. More senior internationals will gradually return, competition for places will intensify and the manager’s preferred lineup should become clearer.
For now, the Real Madrid vs Fiorentina live stream offers the first proper opportunity to watch Mourinho’s developing team over a full public friendly. With new signings, academy prospects and several important tactical questions in focus, the Austrian test should provide far more than a routine preseason result.
