The semi-finals in the Europa League will take place on Thursday evening. Eintracht Frankfurt meets West Ham United, RB Leipzig meets Glasgow Rangers. With this overview, you won’t miss a beat.
Fans of the European football cup have to be prepared for a high bill in the new football year. Three subscriptions are required to have free choice in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, which start with the group stage this week.
Who is showing the Europa League on free TV?
Only one of this week’s European Football Cup matches can be seen live on free-to-air television. The new television home of the Europa League and the new Conference League is RTL with rights to 282 games. The free TV broadcaster is showing the eagerly awaited second leg of the Europa League semi-final between Eintracht Frankfurt and West Ham on Thursday (9 p.m.). The other semi-final encounter with German participation between RB Leipzig and Glasgow Rangers (also 9 p.m.) runs on the RTL+ website for a fee. Experts include Karl-Heinz Riedle and Lukas Podolski, moderators are Laura Papendick and Anna Kraft.
Who shows the Champions League in the live stream?
Sky no longer has the Champions League in its program, DAZN and Amazon have offered UEFA more money. This means that two subscriptions are still necessary in order not to miss anything, but they are cheaper compared to previous years. DAZN shows almost all games, the paid streaming service has purchased a package with a total of 121 live games and is also allowed to show conferences. The streaming service Prime from internet retailer Amazon is new in the premier class. Amazon customers see the top game on Tuesday evening.
DAZN hired Laura Wontorra from RTL as a moderator and added former Sky employees Michael Born and Holger Pfandt to the existing commentator team. Amazon mainly works with Sky staff: Jonas Friedrich is the commentator on Prime Video, Sebastian Hellmann moderates.
DAZN and Amazon have spared no expense or effort to hire prominent experts. The sports streaming service has extended the contract with ex-national player Sandro Wagner. Amazon has reactivated Matthias Sammer, who last worked on TV during Eurosport’s Bundesliga guest appearance. The team of experts also includes TV newcomer Mario Gomez.

What can fans see in pubs?
Fans should find out more in their local pubs beforehand, because restaurateurs need two contracts in the new season. Sky doesn’t own any rights but offers 16 live games in its deals with sports bars following a deal with Amazon. Pubs that also want to show their customers the other games need another contract with DAZN. According to the streaming service, it has not extended the expired cooperation agreement with Sky.
What do the subscriptions cost?
DAZN significantly increased the price in February, to the annoyance of many sports fans. The streaming service costs EUR 29.99 per month. To see the premier class on Amazon Prime Video, you have to pay 7.99 euros per month. RTL + charges 4.99 euros per month for its offer.
