Where to Watch the Champions League in the UK
If you want to catch live Champions League matches in the UK, your options are TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video. Both require a subscription, but if you already have an Amazon Prime account for delivery or streaming, the football matches come included. New to Prime? You can try it free for 30 days, which might let you watch a couple of matchdays before paying.
Highlights are also available on the BBC and TNT Sports' official YouTube channel after each round of matches.
What Matches Does TNT Sports Broadcast?
TNT Sports holds the rights to most Champions League games during the 2026/27 season. In the group stages, you get to pick from simultaneous matches, except for the one broadcast by Amazon Prime Video. They cover everything from the play-off rounds through to the final.
Kickoff times vary between 5:45pm and 8pm depending on the tournament phase. The 2026-27 final takes place at Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain, on June 5, 2027.
Besides the Champions League, TNT Sports offers all 12:30 Premier League kickoffs plus some midweek fixtures, rugby, and motorsport coverage.
Which Champions League Games Does Amazon Prime Show?
Prime Video broadcasts 17 matches in the 26/27 season, mostly Tuesday evening fixtures. Their deal covers matches from the group stage through to the semi-finals, giving subscribers access to many key games before the final.
Matches start at 8pm UK time, with pre-match analysis and punditry starting beforehand.

Is Bundling Broadband and Sports TV Cheaper?
