Guide: How to watch the UCL, UEL & UECL for FREE in the UK via live stream

Access live streams of selected matches from UEFA club competitions every gameweek with a few easy clicks

UK based fans looking to watch the best that European football has to offer may think they need a subscription to BT Sport, but we are here to tell you that you can watch the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League without any such thing.

BT Sport is the exclusive rights holder to all UEFA club competitions in the UK until 2024, meaning they have a complete monopoly over the UCL and its sister competitions. The problem is BT Sport ain't cheap. To get it you'll need at the bare minimum the £25 monthly pass, which only entitles you to live streaming and not TV.

This drives many people online looking for dodgy, illegal live streams full of annoying pop-ups, viruses, malware and even hackers.

What if there were a cheaper, safer, better way to live stream the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League? There is, and we are here to give it to you.

Watch UEFA Champions League and more with Match TV

Ever heard of Match TV? It's a Russian sports network. It shows live matches from the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League every game week. They may not show every single match like BT Sport does, but they tend to chose the most high profile fixtures, the ones you probably want to watch as you can see in the screenshot of their TV listings below.

They broadcast matches featuring the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid and other European giants. The same goes for the UEL and UECL - they pick the biggest names and put them on their network. Match TV shows a minimum of two UEFA matches per night, sometimes three depending on scheduling times. That's four or more UCL matches per gameweek, and the same for the lower competitions.

The best thing about Match TV is it's completely FREE and doesn't even require a registration. You literally follow our link to the website, click play and watch the live stream immediately - it couldn't be simpler.

But how do I watch if I'm not in Russia? The live stream is only available to people in Russia! [see below]
