LaLiga has confirmed the schedule for the matchday six fixture between Deportivo La Coruña and Sevilla FC. The game will be played on Wednesday, September 16 at 19:00 at the Riazor stadium, as reported by the outlet Sport.es. This match is part of a block of three games that the Galician side will face in just seven days, presenting a logistical challenge for both teams.
Sevilla, currently fifth in LaLiga with 6 points from a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, faces a test of endurance. The Nervión outfit enters this period with a notable offensive performance, having scored 6 goals and conceded 5 in the first three matchdays. Their next commitment before the international break is an away fixture against Espanyol on September 6, a match listed on our fixtures page.
How does the calendar affect Sevilla?
LaLiga's scheduling for September places Sevilla in a demanding position. The match at Riazor is a midweek fixture, meaning less recovery time for the players. For Deportivo, the clash against Sevilla is the second in a sequence that begins on Sunday the 13th against Getafe and culminates on Sunday the 20th with the derby against Real Betis. Deportivo's coach, Antonio Hidalgo, already referenced the match load. He said: "El conjunto de Antonio Hidalgo se citará con el Villarreal este sábado a las 21.00 en la Cerámica".
Club football will pause after matchday seven, making way for two consecutive weekends of national team matches. This break will offer a respite and a first major checkpoint of the season. The standings at that point, which you can follow on our standings page, will be a reliable barometer of the early-season form.
What other matches make up the fixture round?
LaLiga has published the dates and times for matchdays 5, 6, and 7, the final three before the international break. Deportivo will open this block on Sunday, September 13 at 18:30 by hosting Getafe. After the match against Sevilla, they will close the cycle on Sunday the 20th at the same time with the classic against Real Betis. This Saturday, however, the Coruña team visits Villarreal at 21:00 at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
This fixture congestion will test the depth of the squads. For Sevilla, who sit 3 points behind leaders Real Madrid, every match is vital in the fight to stay in the upper positions. The offensive efficiency shown so far, averaging two goals per game, will be a key asset during this stretch.
What context does Sevilla bring to Riazor?
Sevilla approaches the visit to La Coruña with a positive record in the early stages of the 2026/27 season. Their recent form shows two consecutive victories, reflected in the LWW sequence. The team has demonstrated goalscoring capability, a detail that can be explored further in our stats section. Maintaining this consistency away from home will be the primary objective.
The planning by Sevilla's coaching staff for the week of the Deportivo match will be intense. With only two full days to prepare for the game following the previous league matchday, physical recovery and tactical analysis will be condensed. The match at Riazor is scheduled for Wednesday, September 16 at 19:00.
