Following the 2026/27 Champions League Around the World
The 2026/27 Champions League is the third season of the 36-club league phase. Every club plays eight different opponents between September 8 and January 27, the leading eight skip the playoff and go directly to the round of 16, and the clubs finishing 9th to 24th meet in a two-legged playoff in February. The final is on June 5, 2027, at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid.
Games are played on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, mostly at 9 p.m. Central European Time with a couple of earlier ones at 6:45 p.m. That means a weekday afternoon in North America, an evening game in West Africa, and kickoffs after midnight in India, where the games air on Sony Sports Network and stream on SonyLIV.
In the United States, CBS and Paramount+ carry the English-language coverage, while TUDN, Univision and ViX have it in Spanish. TNT Sports has most UK games, with HBO Max as its streaming home, while Prime Video takes a smaller set of Tuesday matches. Germany divides the competition between DAZN and Prime Video, and Italy between Sky Sport, NOW and Prime Video.
SuperSport and DStv Stream are the main option in sub-Saharan Africa, and French-speaking countries from Senegal to Madagascar can also watch on Canal+ Afrique and New World TV. Free coverage exists in a handful of places: Irish viewers have RTÉ and Virgin Media Television, Turkey has TRT 1, Poland TVP Sport and Brazil SBT.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I watch the Champions League in the US?
Paramount+ streams every match in English, and CBS shows selected games, including the final, on free over-the-air TV. CBS Sports Network has live games too. For Spanish commentary, TUDN and Univision carry matches on TV and ViX streams them. If you only want one subscription, Paramount+ is the one that covers the whole competition in English.
Is the Champions League on free TV anywhere?
Yes, in several countries. Beyond Ireland, Turkey, Poland and Brazil, free coverage is on SRF, RTS and RSI in Switzerland, HRT in Croatia, MEGA in Greece, SCTV in Indonesia, and VTM GO and RTL Play in Belgium. In the US, CBS and Univision air selected games over the air, and Turkey's tabii streams matches at no cost.
Which app streams the Champions League in the UK?
HBO Max is where TNT Sports streams its Champions League games, and TNT holds most of the competition in the United Kingdom. Prime Video has its own smaller set of Tuesday-night matches, so fans who want every game need both. The BBC only has highlights, and no live game is on free TV in the UK this season.
Where do fans in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya stream the Champions League?
On DStv Stream, which carries SuperSport's channels to a phone, tablet or smart TV with no satellite dish. That suits fans who follow matches on mobile data. SuperSport also has the games on DStv in all three countries. In French-speaking Africa, from Côte d'Ivoire to Cameroon, the other main choices are Canal+ Afrique and New World TV.
What time do Champions League games kick off?
Most matches start at 9 p.m. CET on Tuesday or Wednesday, with a couple of early games at 6:45 p.m. CET. That is 3 p.m. and 12:45 p.m. Eastern time in the US, and in winter about 11 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. in Nairobi. On the last league-phase night, January 27, 2027, all 18 games kick off together.
Can Canadians stream the Champions League without cable?
Yes. DAZN holds the Champions League in Canada and streams it on phones, smart TVs, game consoles and the web, so no cable package is needed. OneSoccer also shows matches. Canadian viewers get most games in the afternoon: 3 p.m. Eastern and noon Pacific.
Who shows the Champions League in Australia and New Zealand?
Stan Sport has the competition in Australia, and DAZN streams it in New Zealand. Because Europe's evening games land in the Australian morning, most matches start between about 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. in Sydney during the league phase, which suits an early start before work.
How can I keep watching the Champions League while traveling?
Bring your home subscription with you and connect through a VPN. A Paramount+ account from the US or a DStv Stream login from Lagos will usually stop showing matches once you land in another country. Switching NordVPN to a server at home brings the app back, and the connection is quick enough for 4K on the big European nights. Our VPN guide compares the options.
When and where is the 2027 Champions League final?
The final is on Saturday, June 5, 2027, in Madrid, at the home of Atlético Madrid, the Metropolitano Stadium. It is the stadium's second Champions League final, after Liverpool beat Tottenham there in 2019. The semifinals come first, with the first legs on April 27 and 28 and the second legs on May 4 and 5, 2027.
Where can I watch Champions League highlights?
Several countries have highlights-only deals on free channels. In the UK the BBC has them, in Germany ZDF, in Austria ORF and ServusTV, and in the Czech Republic Czech TV. In Japan, U-NEXT and Lemino show highlights, while WOWOW has the live games. These programs are useful when a match kicks off too late or too early for you.
