The 2026-2027 UEFA Champions League tournament features the best clubs in Europe, like Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern München, Atlético de Madrid and others, competing for a chance to hoist the European Champion Clubs’ Cup. It officially kicks off with matches starting on Tuesday, Sept. 8 and ends on Sunday, June 5, 2027 with the final match taking place at Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain.
Throughout the tournament, matches broadcast live across CBS and CBS Sports Network, as well as livestreams on Paramount+.
Even without cable, you don’t have to miss any of the action. You can access matches on CBS with affordable cable antennas, while soccer matches are also available to stream online on a variety of platforms, such as Fubo and Hulu + Live TV. However, the best ways for cord-cutters to tune into the action is with DirecTV.
With the start of a new tournament, it’s likely matches may feature a few of celebrities who attended matches in the past, like Idris Elba, Anne Hathaway, Lewis Hamilton, Usain Bolt and others. Meanwhile, with the popularity of the World Cup this summer and the start of Premier League play a few weeks ago, it’s likely that matches are going to be big ratings draws for networks.
