Champions League: find the live match behind the broadcaster list

Use UEFA’s territorial partners and the broadcaster’s individual match listing to distinguish the full game, studio show and highlights.

Start with the fixture in your country

Get the competition, opponents, kick-off and date from the UEFA Champions League fixture page. Open UEFA’s broadcast-partner list and select the country where you will watch. Then open the broadcaster’s schedule and search for that fixture. The partner list identifies whom to check. The broadcaster’s listing tells you which channel, stream or package carries that particular game.

Give special attention to simultaneous kick-offs. One broadcaster may place a match on a main channel and put another in a secondary app stream. A live studio programme can use both clubs in its title while showing a roundup. Look for the full match listing, exact kick-off and stream tile. If it gives a pre-match start time, save both times so you can arrive for the game itself.

Match the access type to the evening you have planned

Listing wordingWhat to verify
Live match with both clubs namedExact stream or channel, territory and current package
Multimatch or goal showWhether it follows several grounds and whether your match has its own feed
Highlights or match reviewWhether it opens after the final whistle and how long the clip runs
ReplayRelease time, available window and how to avoid a score on the landing page
Preview or studio coverageWhich stream takes over at kick-off

UEFA describes previews, interviews and highlights as part of its own coverage alongside the broadcast partners. Consult the UEFA.tv listing for the exact content type offered there. For a group watch, have someone open the intended broadcaster tile on the television before everyone arrives. Confirm any device restriction on that app or package while there is time to change screens.

Verify late changes at the original source

Use a bookmark to the fixture and the broadcaster listing. Check the opponent names, competition and date on match day. If you are reporting a missing game, include both links and the local time, plus the exact television app and package. A league-stage match and a later knockout match between the same clubs are different listings.
