On Wednesday three German teams are challenged in the Champions League. FC Bayern is a guest at FC Barcelona, Eintracht Frankfurt welcomes Olympique Marseille and Bayer Leverkusen has to play at Atletico Madrid. So you can follow the games live.
Football fans will have to spend even more money in the new Champions League season than in the previous season. In order to have free choice in the three European Cup competitions, even three subscriptions are necessary.
FC Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Co.: Where are the Champions League live games?
Two subscriptions are required for the premier class. DAZN and Amazon are showing the Champions League for the second year. Amazon customers can watch the top game on Tuesday via the Prime Video offer.
DAZN shows all other games. The paid Internet provider has purchased a package with a total of 121 live games, including conferences.
On Wednesday, DAZN will show the games FC Barcelona against Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt against Olympique Marseille and Atletico Madrid against Bayer Leverkusen (kick-off 9 p.m. each time).
What do the subscriptions cost?
DAZN has increased the price again for the new season. The streaming service costs EUR 29.99 per month, which is about twice as expensive as last season. If you want to see all the Champions League games, you need the Amazon Prime subscription for EUR 8.99, which was also cheaper in the previous season at EUR 7.99.
Which fans can save?
Supporters of Leipzig and Leverkusen may be angry at the disregard from online giant Amazon, which does not show their teams’ group stage games. On the other hand, the fans of RB and Bayer can be happy because they only need one subscription for the six live games of their team, at least for the time being.
What is there from the Champions League on free TV?
The range of moving images of the most important club competition on free-to-air television is still scarce. ZDF is allowed to broadcast the final live and also shows highlights. On a total of 14 match days, the second offers summaries on Wednesdays from 11 p.m.
What can fans see in pubs?
Fans must find out beforehand which pub is broadcasting which games. Sky does not own any rights, but offers Prime Video’s live games in the sports bars with contracts after an agreement with Amazon. Pubs that also want to show their customers the other games need an additional contract with DAZN.
Who shows Europa and Conference League?
Fans of SC Freiburg, 1. FC Union Berlin and 1. FC Köln do not need Amazon or DAZN. The television home of the Europa League and the Conference League is the RTL Group. The games of the two competitions are shown on RTL, on the niche channel Nitro and on the in-house streaming service RTL+.
The game between Union Berlin and Sporting Braga will be shown on RTL+ on Thursday at 6.45 p.m. From 9 p.m. RTL will also broadcast SC Freiburg’s home game against Olympiacos Piraeus on linear TV. From 11 p.m. there are summaries of the other Europa League games. Fans of 1. FC Köln can watch “Effzeh’s” Conference League game at 1. FC Slovacko on RTL+ on Thursday. Kick-off is at 6:45 p.m.
How much do Europa League and Conference League cost?
RTL+ has also become more expensive. A subscription to the streaming service for ten months (Season Pass) costs EUR 49.90 after EUR 34.99 in the previous season.
