How can I watch Liverpool’s Champions League matches on TV?

UK broadcasters

  • Sky Sports – also broadcasts selected games via sub-licensing.

Streaming options

  • discovery+ (Entertainment & Sport plan) – streams all TNT Sports matches.

International viewers should check local broadcasters (e.g., CBS/Paramount+ in the US, DAZN in Canada).
