Starting this season, UEFA is broadcasting two matches per day live with audio only via a service called UEFA Matchday Live. It’s being streamed live on the UEFA Champions website and the UEFA Champions App.
The broadcasts feature a host, who will take the broadcast from the featured match to one of the other matches when a goal happens.

Finally, many pubs/sports bars air live Champions League and Europa League matches throughout the season.
