Castellón’s form rewarded with prime time as Sporting Gijón clash set for 21.00 on 15 March | OneFootball

CD Castellón’s on-field surge is now being reflected in LaLiga Hypermotion kick-off slots, with Sporting de Gijón v Castellón scheduled for 21.00 on 15 March.

On Friday, 20 February 2026, LaLiga set the matchday 30 schedule, placing the tie at El Molinón-Enrique Castro Quini. According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the selection highlights the club’s growing pull beyond the province.

Pablo Hernández’s side have pieced together results with personality and a clear identity, underpinned by tighter defending and greater efficiency in attack. That has lifted confidence in the dressing room and among supporters.

Previous dissatisfaction over awkward kick-off times, viewed as harmful for travelling fans and preparation at SkyFi Castalia, had not been isolated. The mood now appears to be shifting.

The focus remains on extending the run on the pitch, with optimism shaped by the bond with the stands and competitive momentum. The club still urges a more balanced spread of kick-off times to secure the best possible conditions.

The Sunday night slot will coincide with the end of the Magdalena 2026 festivities, overlapping with the Magdalena Vítol.
