UK Champions League TV Rights from 2024 #

TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) and Amazon Prime Video jointly hold live UK broadcasting rights to the UEFA Champions League. TNT Sports carries the majority of matches including all Tuesday and Wednesday night group stage games, knockout rounds and the final. Amazon Prime Video holds rights to a select package of Champions League matches, typically featuring UK clubs in high-profile fixtures.

ITV broadcasts selected Champions League highlights and has occasional live match rights for specific rounds. Free-to-air live coverage is limited but does exist for certain marquee matches, particularly when English clubs are involved in decisive rounds.

TNT Sports Champions League IPTV #

TNT Sports is the primary Champions League IPTV destination in the UK. A TNT Sports subscription gives access to all live UCL matches in the TNT Sports rights package — including group stage double-headers on midweek evenings, last-16 and quarter-final legs, the semi-finals and the final. TNT Sports streams in HD and is available on Smart TVs, Firestick, Apple TV, smartphones and tablets.

TNT Sports can be accessed as a standalone streaming subscription at approximately £30.99 per month via the TNT Sports app. It is also available via Sky, Virgin Media and BT TV bundles if you prefer a bundled approach. Discovery+ content (documentaries, behind-the-scenes UEFA content) is included in the TNT Sports subscription.

Amazon Prime Video Champions League Coverage #

Amazon Prime Video holds a complementary UCL rights package in the UK, typically covering matches featuring Premier League clubs in the group stage and early knockout rounds. Prime Video streams in up to 4K HDR with Dolby Atmos audio on compatible devices — the highest quality Champions League IPTV experience available in the UK. Amazon Prime costs £8.99 per month or £95 per year and includes the full Prime membership (delivery, Prime Music, Prime Reading) alongside video content.

Prime Video is available on essentially every streaming device including Firestick (natively as part of Fire OS), Smart TVs, Apple TV, Chromecast and gaming consoles — making it one of the most accessible Champions League IPTV platforms regardless of your device setup.

Free Champions League Coverage in the UK #

ITV broadcasts selected Champions League matches live and free to air — typically one high-profile match per round that includes at least one English club. ITV’s ITVX streaming platform carries these live streams free of charge, accessible on any device with a browser or the ITVX app without registration. ITV also shows Champions League highlights on the same evening after matches conclude.

CBS Sports Golazo — available free via Paramount+ in the UK — provides extensive Champions League coverage including studio analysis, full match replays and extended highlights on the same evening. While not offering live UK broadcast, the on-demand access provides a high-quality free supplement to live IPTV coverage.

Watching the Champions League Final #

The Champions League final is typically simulcast on TNT Sports and ITV — making the season’s biggest match accessible free to air in the UK. Both platforms stream the final live. ITV’s free coverage of the final is one of the highlights of the UK football broadcasting calendar, allowing viewers without a paid subscription to watch the showpiece event.
