Kick‑off details and where the action takes place
Mark your calendars – VfB Stuttgart will welcome Celta Vigo at the MHP Arena in Stuttgart on September 25, 2025. The Europa League group stage opens at 19:00 UTC, which translates to 20:00 local German time. Both sides see this as a chance to set the tone for their European campaigns. Stuttgart are looking to bounce back after losing their lead striker, while Celta Vigo travel north hoping to make a statement early on.
The stadium itself can seat over 60,000 fans, and the atmosphere is usually electric for continental fixtures. If you’re lucky enough to be in the city, grabbing a ticket early is a good idea because demand spikes once the group stage gets underway.
How to watch the game in the United States and abroad
American viewers have a clear path: CBS Sports Golazo holds the exclusive broadcasting rights for the UEFA Europa League. The match will air on the CBS Sports network and stream live on Paramount+. A standard Paramount+ subscription gives you access to the full 90‑minute match, plus pre‑match analysis and post‑game highlights.
International fans can turn to TOD, a streaming service that specializes in live soccer. TOD offers the match in high‑definition and also provides on‑demand replays for those who miss the live window. The platform is available in most European, Asian, and African markets, and you can watch on a phone, tablet, or TV.
For viewers who prefer short‑form content, the CBS Sports Golazo – Europe YouTube channel will post highlights, key moments, and expert breakdowns after the final whistle. Those channels are a handy way to catch up if you can’t watch the full broadcast.
Both clubs sit near the bottom of the early Europa League table – Stuttgart in 25th place and Celta Vigo in 24th. A win could lift them out of the relegation‑type zone that the competition creates in its first weeks. Expect both managers to line up their strongest available XI and push for three points.
Whether you’re tuning in from a living room couch, a local bar, or the stadium itself, the match promises solid football, a few moments of drama, and a glimpse of how each side will navigate the road ahead in Europe. Keep an eye on the clock, set your reminder, and enjoy the showdown between German grit and Spanish flair.

CBS Golazo is the only legit option in the US. Paramount+ is worth it if you follow Europa League. TOD is sketchy in some regions. Don't trust random streams.

I'm just here for the vibes. Even if it's 1-1, the atmosphere at MHP Arena will be insane. German fans don't sing, they chant like they're in a cathedral. Celta's midfield will try to control it but Stuttgart's pressure is physical. I'm already hyped.

It's funny how we treat every Europa League game like it's the final. These two teams are fighting for survival in a tournament that's basically a consolation prize for teams that didn't make the Champions League. But maybe that's the point - it's the last place where passion still matters more than money.

Both teams are bottom 5 in the table? That's not football, that's a charity match with jerseys. Why are we even watching? The only thing worse than this is when they play 0-0 and call it 'tactical brilliance'.

I've checked. CBS Sports Golazo is on channel 221 on Dish Network. Paramount+ requires a $12.99/month plan. TOD is not available in India - don't waste your time trying. And yes, the stadium holds 60,000, but only 30,000 will be there because half the fans are in pubs watching on their phones.

I'm just here for the memes after the game 😭😭😭 someone please post the first red card reaction when the ref ignores a handball in the box. I need this in my life.

This is why I love football. Two teams nobody expects much from, playing for pride, for fans, for the next step. No superstars, no billionaire owners, just grit and hunger. If Stuttgart wins, it's not just three points - it's a statement that they haven't given up. Celta’s got that Spanish soul too. Let them fight.

I watched the last Europa game between them. The home team lost 2-1 but the crowd stayed until the 95th minute. That’s the kind of loyalty you don’t see anymore. Even if the result is ugly, the spirit is real.

So Celta Vigo is 24th? And we’re treating this like the Clásico? I guess when your league is full of teams that can’t win, every draw feels like a trophy.

Hey everyone - if you’re watching from India, just use a free trial of Paramount+. You can watch the whole match, then cancel. No one’s gonna track you. And if you’re feeling lazy, just check the CBS YouTube highlights later. No shame in that. Football’s for everyone, not just the ones with cable.

Stuttgart’s coach is a joke. He’s still using that 4-4-2 from 2018. Celta’s midfield is better than his entire squad. This is why German football is dying - they think discipline means playing like robots.

I remember watching Celta play in Vigo back in 2019. The whole town was painted blue and white. People were dancing in the streets before the match. It’s not just a game - it’s a cultural moment. And Stuttgart? They’ve got that quiet, stubborn German pride. You can’t fake that. This match might not have the stars, but it’s got the soul. I’ll be watching with my dad - he’s 72 and still remembers every goal from the 80s. He says football used to be about heart, not contracts. He’s right.

The key here is midfield control. Stuttgart’s double pivot is slow but physical - they’ll try to smother Celta’s playmakers. Celta’s got that Spanish technical edge, but if they don’t move the ball quickly in the first 20 minutes, Stuttgart’s press will suffocate them. Also, watch the fullback overlap on the left - that’s where the goal comes from. And if you’re watching on mobile, make sure your data plan covers HD streaming - don’t get stuck buffering at 360p during a 78th minute chance. This is the kind of game that turns seasons around.

I know it's just a group stage game but I already booked my night off. Stuttgart's defense has been shaky since they lost their main striker, and Celta's counter-attacks are brutal when they get momentum. Hope they don't collapse like last time against Sevilla.
