Champions League Broadcast Guide: Where to Watch Live Matches
The UEFA Champions League, Europe's top international club tournament, delivers exciting and intense matches each week. If you're looking to catch the action live on TV or via livestream, here’s a detailed overview of the available broadcast options.
Current Broadcast Rights
DAZN holds the rights to air almost every Champions League match live on TV and streaming until 2027. The only exception is the headline Tuesday night game, which streams exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. If a German team reaches the final, that final match will be shown on free-to-air television.
From the 2027/28 season through 2030/31, Paramount+ will become the primary broadcaster, while Amazon Prime Video continues to air the Wednesday headline match.
