How to watch Champions League: Live streams, TV channels and latest fixtures for 2026/27 season schedule

The return of the UEFA Champions League has fans anticipating a thrilling competition from start to finish, as the most prestigious knockout soccer tournament in the world soldiers on seeking to crown a new champion for the 2026/27 season.

Two-time defending title-holders Paris Saint-Germain are now looking to become just the third club ever to win three consecutive European championships.

They will look to hold off last year's finalists Arsenal as well as fellow Premier League giants Man City and Liverpool. Other top contenders include Real Madrid helmed by Champions League icon Jose Mourinho, their Clasico rivals Barcelona, German giants Bayern Munich, and many other massive European brands.

All roads lead to the final on June 5, 2027 at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details and how to follow the matches.
