LIVESTREAM Spain: Valencia Firebats @ L’Hospitalet Pioners, Jan. 17, 15:00 CET (3 pm, 9 am ET)

The 32nd Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano season opens with a compelling matchup as the L’Hospitalet Pioners host the newly promoted Valencia Firebats at the Complex Esportiu de L’Hospitalet Nord.

Struggling Pioners meet new challengers
The Pioners are looking to improve on a tough 2025 season where they finished 3-5, scoring only 100 points while allowing 172. They face a Valencia Firebats squad eager to prove they belong in the top flight after earning promotion from the second division.

A recent history of splits
The two teams last met during the 2023 season, splitting their series. L’Hospitalet won the opener that season decisively, 37-15, but Valencia claimed revenge later with a tight 28-21 victory, setting the stage for a competitive opening game.
