How to follow the Champions League on the BBC

What the report says

BBC Sport Football says coverage of the Champions League will continue across BBC platforms throughout the season, with the competition returning this week. Viewers can access game-by-game highlights on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app from 22:00 BST on Wednesday of matchweeks, alongside selected clips on social media and live text updates online. BBC One will also carry "Match of the Day" highlights and analysis on Wednesdays, with BBC Radio 5 Live providing selected live commentary and BBC Sounds carrying the audio stream.

The broadcaster says its podcasts, including Football Daily and Euro Leagues, will add reaction and discussion during the campaign. The article notes that five British clubs are in this season’s tournament: Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United. It also points out that BBC highlights coverage now spans the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

For viewers in the UK, live television rights remain with TNT Sport and Amazon Prime Video, with Amazon holding first pick of Tuesday matches and TNT showing the rest. BBC’s listed radio games this week are Porto v Manchester City and Liverpool v Atletico Madrid. More broadly, the piece is a guide to where fans can follow Europe’s top club competition rather than a match report or news development.
