The 2025-26 edition of the UEFA Champions League is upon us, with Paris Saint-Germain aiming to defend its maiden European crown after last season's emphatic triumph.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services for watching Champions League games as they happen, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it's not available where you are.
This year's tournament, which will last 189 games, kicks off with the first set of league phase matches on Tuesday, Sept. 16, and culminates with the final, which will be held at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary, on Saturday, May 30, 2026.
Each side will again play eight unique opponents under the tournament's expanded 36-team league stage format, which was introduced last season.
That means competition for a top-eight spot, which secures direct passage to the round of 16, will once again be fierce. However, as eventual winners PSG showed last year, all isn't lost for those teams that finish outside the automatic qualification places, with clubs in ninth to 24th set to battle through a playoff round.
Last season's final saw the Parisians hammer Inter Milan 5-0 in a one-sided match, which saw Luis Enrique's team lift the trophy for the first time in its history. Despite that triumph and a strong showing in the recent Club World Cup, this season's two main favorites to be crowned European champions are current Premier League holder Liverpool and Catalan giant Barcelona.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch every game live wherever you are in the world.
