Where to Watch the Champions League in the UK - 2024/25 Season
The Champions League is woven into the fabric of English football fandom. From Liverpool's miracle in Istanbul - three goals down at half-time, Gerrard lifting the trophy by midnight - to that unforgettable night in Barcelona when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer completed the Treble in stoppage time, British clubs have written some of the competition's most iconic chapters. The 2024/25 campaign brings a brand-new league-phase format, more matches, and fresh hope for the Premier League sides still standing. Here's your guide to catching every moment from your sofa.
Season 2024/25 - Champions League
TNT Sports TV - All Champions League matches live
TNT Sports is your one-stop shop for Champions League football in the UK. Every group-stage fixture, every knockout drama, every final whistle - it's all here. Coverage starts early with build-up shows featuring Rio Ferdinand, Steve McManaman, and the rest of the BT Sport legacy crew. You can watch on TV through BT, EE, or Sky packages, or stream on the discovery+ app, which also gives you access to the UEFA Europa League and Conference League.
Amazon Prime Video Streaming - Select Tuesday matches
Amazon Prime has picked up a small selection of Tuesday-night Champions League fixtures in the UK for 2024/25. If you already subscribe for the delivery perks, these matches are included at no extra cost. The multi-match whip-around feature works well when several games kick off simultaneously, and 4K HDR coverage makes the big nights feel properly cinematic.

Free live sports streaming - watch matches online from anywhere in the world. Community-driven platform with multiple stream sources for every major sporting event.
Champions League broadcasting rights in the UK
TNT Sports holds the primary UK broadcasting rights for the UEFA Champions League through the 2024-27 cycle. The deal covers all live matches across the league phase and knockout rounds, including the final. Amazon Prime Video supplements the package with a handful of Tuesday-night selections each matchday, giving UK viewers a second entry point without needing a TNT subscription.
The new Champions League format for 2024/25 replaces the traditional group stage with a 36-team league phase, meaning more matches and more scheduling complexity. English clubs typically play on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at 20:00 GMT, though some early kick-offs at 17:45 feature on heavier matchdays. For fans juggling multiple subscriptions, TNT Sports via discovery+ at £30.99/mo remains the most comprehensive single option.
British clubs have a storied Champions League history: six different English teams have lifted the trophy, with Liverpool (six titles) and Manchester United leading the way. Chelsea, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, and Aston Villa complete the roll of honour. That depth of pedigree means UK audience figures for Champions League nights regularly rival domestic Premier League broadcasts, particularly in the knockout rounds.
