Ronaldo has had his yellow card at Rayo Vallecano rescinded, meaning he will not serve a one-game ban.
The 30-year-old was booked for simulation after a strong tackle from Antonio Amaya in the penalty area during Wednesday's 2-0 victory at Vallecas.
Carlo Ancelotti hit out at what he described as an "unbelievable" decision, which resulted in Ronaldo's fifth yellow of the season and a one-match suspension.
Madrid backed up Ancelotti by launching an appeal on Thursday which has been upheld by the Competition Committee.
Ronaldo is likely to start Saturday's game at the Bernabeu as Ancelotti's men look to keep pace with La Liga leaders Barcelona, who are four points ahead at the top of the table.
The former Manchester United forward will also be seeking a 301st goal in Madrid colours after reaching another landmark by scoring the opener against Rayo.
