The sixth edition of La Velada del Año arrives this weekend with an event that promises to be one of the most important on Spain's amateur boxing calendar. Unlike previous editions, the good news for those who missed out on tickets is that you can follow all the action completely free of charge through official online broadcasts.

When and where it will take place

La Velada del Año VI will be held this Saturday, July 25, although preparations begin beforehand. On Friday the 24th there will be a preliminary event with the weigh-in for competitors, an event that can also be followed live for free.

The event organised by Ibai Llanos, Spain's most relevant content creator and streamer, has become an unmissable appointment that brings together YouTubers, influencers and athletes who face off in the ring. In-person tickets sold out months ago, but this won't prevent thousands of people from enjoying the event from home.

Ten fights and live musical performances

According to xataka.com, the programme includes ten fights that maintain a balance between male and female bouts, reflecting the event's commitment to equality in amateur boxing.

Between the fights there will be several musical performances distributed throughout the night to entertain the audience. Additionally, both the artists performing and some of the fighters will bring special guests who will add more spectacle to the event, both in the musical shows and in the bouts.

How to watch it free online

The full broadcast will be available free-to-air through Ibai Llanos's three official channels. Both Friday's weigh-in and Saturday's La Velada del Año VI can be followed without needing to pay any subscription or admission fee.

This accessibility is one of the features that has made La Velada a phenomenon that transcends conventional boxing. While professional sporting events are usually behind paywalls, this initiative keeps the content available for anyone who wants to watch it, democratising access to a spectacle that has generated millions of views in previous editions.

An event that has transformed amateur boxing in Spain

La Velada del Año began as an experiment several years ago and has become a phenomenon that captures the attention of very broad audiences, especially among younger audiences who follow these content creators. The combination of real competition, musical entertainment and the participation of influential personalities has created a unique format that works.

If you're interested in boxing, internet culture or simply want to spend an entertaining Saturday without spending money on tickets, this is your event. The question is: will you miss the ring action or will you dive into what already promises to be one of the most talked-about events of the year?
