Where can I stream the UEFA Champions League?
For English-language coverage, Paramount+ is the simplest option. Every Champions League game is available live on the service, so you do not need to piece together different TV channels as the tournament progresses.
Paramount+ Essential costs $8.99 per month or $89.99 per year, while Paramount+ Premium costs $13.99 per month or $139.99 per year. Both plans include the Champions League.
That last point is worth knowing if soccer is your main reason for subscribing. You do not need the more expensive Premium plan to unlock additional Champions League games.

What is the best Champions League streaming option?
The best option depends much more on what you want to watch than on which service has the longest channel list.
| Availability | Best viewing option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Every Champions League game in English | Paramount+ Essential | Every game is included without needing Premium |
| Champions League plus your live local CBS station | Paramount+ Premium | Same Champions League coverage as Essential, with the live CBS feed and additional content |
| Spanish-language coverage | ViX Premium | Lower-cost access to TelevisaUnivision's streaming coverage |
| Specific DAZN-exclusive games in Spanish | DAZN | Carries a separate package of Spanish-language Champions League games |
| Selected games on regular TV | CBS, CBS Sports Network, TUDN or UniMás | Useful if the game you want has been selected for linear coverage |
How can I watch the Champions League in Spanish?
Spanish-language coverage is a little less straightforward than the English-language setup.
TelevisaUnivision continues to show Champions League games across ViX and selected linear channels including TUDN and UniMás. ViX Premium currently costs $5.99 per month with ads or $8.99 per month for its no-ads plan. However, ViX does not have every Spanish-language Champions League stream.
DAZN also carries a package of Champions League games in Spanish under an agreement covering the 2025/26 and 2026/27 seasons. This includes 38 exclusive games per season, meaning some games available on DAZN cannot also be streamed on ViX in Spanish.
For viewers who want to follow one specific team in Spanish, there therefore isn't one subscription we can recommend for every matchday. Check the Champions League schedule first to see whether that team's next game is assigned to ViX, TUDN, UniMás or DAZN.
How much does DAZN cost?
DAZN is changing its U.S. pricing at the start of this Champions League season.
From September 10, 2026, its standard U.S. plans are priced at:
- $34.99 per month on a month-to-month subscription
- $24.99 per month with a 12-month commitment
- $249.99 per year when paid upfront
DAZN's Champions League coverage is in Spanish and covers selected games rather than the entire tournament, so it makes more sense for viewers who specifically want its Spanish-language games or already use DAZN for other sports.
Which TV channels are the UEFA Champions League on?
Most Champions League games in the U.S. are easier to find through streaming than traditional TV. CBS Sports holds the English-language rights, with selected games appearing on CBS, CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network during the season.
That distinction matters. A live TV package carrying CBS or CBS Sports Network will not necessarily give you every Champions League game. Paramount+ is the service that carries the complete English-language schedule.
