How to Watch the Champions League in the UK
Where to Watch Champions League in the UK
In the UK, live Champions League matches are shown on TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video. Both require subscriptions, but if you already have Amazon Prime for deliveries or streaming, these matches come included. New users can sign up for a 30-day free trial with Amazon Prime, potentially catching two matchdays without paying.
Highlights are available after each matchday on the BBC’s Champions League Match of the Day or on TNT Sports' official YouTube channel.
Which Matches Does TNT Sports Broadcast?
TNT Sports holds rights to broadcast most Champions League games for the 2026/27 season. During the group stages, you can pick from multiple games happening simultaneously, except those shown on Amazon Prime Video. They also cover the play-offs, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final.
Kickoff times vary between 5:45pm and 8pm depending on the tournament phase. The 2026-27 UEFA Champions League Final takes place at Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid on 5 June 2027.
Besides football, TNT Sports offers access to all 12:30 Premier League kick-offs, some midweek fixtures, rugby, and motorsport.
What Champions League Matches Are on Amazon Prime?
Amazon Prime Video will broadcast 17 Champions League matches during the 2026/27 season, mainly Tuesday evening games, with priority in choosing matches. This coverage runs from the start of the group stage through to the semi-finals, offering fans access to major games leading up to the final.
Matches begin at 8pm UK time, with pre-match analysis and punditry starting earlier.
Cost of TNT Sports Packages
For those wanting TNT Sports without overspending, having an existing TV provider contract helps. If you use BT or EE TV and broadband, TNT Sports can be added via the Discovery+ app for £20 per month.
Sky subscribers pay £30 per month extra to access all four TNT Sports channels, including Champions League games. Alternatively, Discovery+ subscription directly through smart devices costs £30.99 monthly and can be canceled anytime.
Often, combining broadband and TV packages that include TNT Sports is more affordable.
Amazon Prime Subscription Fees
To watch Champions League on Amazon Prime, a subscription costs £8.99 monthly or £95 annually. This grants access to all 17 Tuesday night first-choice matches along with other sports, shows, movies, and free delivery benefits.
New subscribers can enjoy a free 30-day trial with full access. Prime subscriptions are purchasable on Amazon’s website or via the Prime Video app on smart TVs and streaming devices.
Is Bundling Sports TV and Broadband More Affordable?
If Champions League football is your main interest (rather than broader Premier League packages), bundling broadband and TV can save money.
For example, EE offers a broadband and TV plan including all TNT Sports channels for £54.99 monthly, with fibre optic broadband and various TV channels. Adding Sky Sports bumps this to £79.99 per month.
Amazon Prime often costs extra, though some broadband deals might include a Prime subscription.
Where to Watch Champions League Highlights Free of Charge?
After each matchweek, highlights air on the BBC’s Champions League Match of the Day, accessible via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website. Note that watching requires a valid TV licence.
Alternatively, you can find highlights and related content on the official TNT Sports YouTube channel.
