How to Watch the Champions League in the US (2026-27)

The UEFA Champions League is a CBS property in the United States, and CBS holds those English-language rights through the 2029-30 season — so this is a stable home for years to come.

Where to watch in English

Every Champions League match streams on Paramount+, with a selection of matches also airing on CBS (free over the air) and CBS Sports Network. The knockout rounds and the final get the biggest broadcast windows. Paramount+ is the service to have if you want access to the full slate — it also carries the Europa League and Serie A, so one subscription covers a lot of European football.

Where to watch in Spanish

Spanish-language Champions League coverage for 2026-27 runs on TUDN, UniMás and Univision (TelevisaUnivision) and on DAZN. Note that the Spanish-language rights change hands after 2026-27, so this applies to the current cycle.

What's free and what it costs

The matches CBS chooses for its broadcast network are free over the air. Everything else requires a Paramount+ subscription (or a live-TV package carrying CBS Sports Network).

How to catch the final

The Champions League final is typically given a free-to-air window on CBS in addition to streaming on Paramount+, so it's one of the most accessible matches of the season.

See the Champions League TV schedule for upcoming matches once the 2026-27 fixtures are set. (UEFA's league-phase draw takes place in late August, so US listings populate from then.)
