There’s nothing quite like the magic of the Champions League. From last-minute screamers to unforgettable comebacks under the floodlights, it’s football at its most electrifying. And if you’re anything like me, the build-up to matchday includes a ritual: snacks, friends on group chat, and a reliable way to stream the game — wherever you are in the world.
The 2024/25 season is no exception, with every match bringing top-tier football action and millions of viewers tuning in from every corner of the globe. The good news? Whether you’re in Europe, Asia, the Americas, or beyond, there are official ways to watch every goal, every tackle, and every celebration live.
How to watch in Europe
Europe remains the epicenter of the Champions League, and broadcasters across the continent are making sure no fan misses out. In France, Canal+ continues its long-standing tradition of Champions League coverage, while DAZN and Amazon Prime bring top-quality streams to Germany.
Living in the UK? Then you’ll want to tune in via TNT Sports, with select highlights also available on BBC. Italy offers fans a choice between Sky and Amazon Prime, depending on your match preference.
In the Netherlands, Ziggo Sport handles the action, and fans in Portugal can follow the drama through Sport TV or DAZN. Smaller nations haven’t been left out either: from Malta’s PBS, Slovenia’s Pro Plus, to Estonia’s TV3, local coverage is strong throughout the continent.
I recently visited friends in Finland, and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the experience was on Telia — no buffering, excellent commentary, and that same pre-match tension we all know and love.
Broadcast partners in Africa and the Middle East
In North Africa and the Middle East, beIN Sports remains the go-to broadcaster, offering extensive coverage in Arabic, French, and English. I once watched a semi-final in a small café in Morocco, where the excitement was as palpable as any London pub — all thanks to beIN’s coverage.
For fans in sub-Saharan Africa, SuperSport, New World TV, and Canal+ are carrying the torch this season. Whether you’re catching the match from a city like Lagos or a village in Rwanda, access is just a subscription away.
How to follow the Champions League in the Americas
North American fans have plenty of ways to tune in. In the United States, Paramount+ and TUDN offer full coverage in English and Spanish. I personally enjoy watching post-match breakdowns on Paramount+ — their analysis adds a layer of insight that’s great for casual fans and football nerds alike.
Canada continues with DAZN, providing reliable streaming across devices. Meanwhile, ESPN handles coverage across Central and South America, excluding Brazil, where TNT Sports and SBT dominate the airwaves.
In the Caribbean, Flow Sports, SportsMax, and S&T keep fans up to speed, and even in Haiti or the Dominican Republic, options like Canal+ and Televideo ensure no one misses out.
Where to watch in Asia and the Pacific
From Tokyo to Jakarta, Champions League matches draw massive late-night audiences — and for good reason. In Japan, broadcasters like WOWOW, Fuji TV, and NTV provide comprehensive access. In the Indian subcontinent, Sony continues to lead the way, streaming matches across India, Pakistan, and beyond.
beIN Sports has a wide footprint in Southeast Asia, covering nations like Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Over in South Korea, fans can catch matches on SPO TV, while Elta brings the action to Taiwan.
Australia is served by Stan Sport, and DAZN has recently expanded its reach into New Zealand, making it easier than ever for fans down under to follow their favorite clubs.
During a trip to Vietnam last year, I ended up watching a group stage clash on VTVCab with a local family I met — football really is a universal language.
And even at 30,000 feet…
For the frequent fliers and globe-trotters among us, Sport24 offers in-flight and at-sea broadcasts. Yes, that means you could watch a Champions League night somewhere over the Atlantic with a packet of peanuts in hand.
So, no matter where life (or work) takes you in 2025, there’s no reason to miss the Champions League. Just make sure your subscriptions are sorted and your time zones are set. The road to the final is long, but the drama is guaranteed.
