Update:

Real Madrid’s game against Valencia CF has been postponed due to the catastrophic effects of the DANA storm, which has left over 200 people dead and many more missing.

Valencia applied to LaLiga for a postponement of the fixture - due to be played on Saturday November 2 at 4:00p.m. ET / 1:00 p.m. PT - which was immediately granted. As such, another date will be found when to play the game.

When will Real Madrid vs Valencia be played?

As of yet, there is no official information regarding a possible date for the game, as the situation in the city and surrounding areas continues to cause chaos for those affected.

Real Madrid official statement:

The Royal Spanish Football Federation has announced that the game on matchday 12 of LaLiga between Valencia and Real Madrid scheduled for Saturday, 2 November at 9 pm at the Mestalla has been postponed.

"Due to the natural catastrophe that has occurred in the Comunidad Valenciana as a result of a hurricane, having decreed three days of official mourning with the suspension of sporting competitions in the cited autonomous region, a request for a postponement has been received from the LIGA F, after speaking with all the clubs involved. In the light of the circumstances of force majeure arising from the events referred to above, it is necessary to postpone the matches scheduled to take place,” said the judge for professional competitions in the statement.

In addition to Valencia-Real Madrid, the other Primera División and Segunda División matches due to be played this weekend in the Valencia region have also been postponed: Villarreal-Rayo Vallecano, Castellón-Racing de Ferrol, Eldense-Huesca and Levante-Málaga.
