Watch the Champions League on the BT Sport app

Once you've signed up for BT TV and/or BT broadband, you can watch all the Champions League matches, including highlights and news, on the BT Sport app.

This app covers the same channels as those available via BT TV including BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2, BT Sport 3, BT Sport ESPN and BT Sport Extra and is available for iOS, Android and Windows phones and tablets, Apple TV, Xbox or Samsung Smart TV. You can also attach a Google Chromecast and stream the app from your laptop, tablet or phone to your standard TV.

It's worth noting that some BT Mobile SIM-only deals also include the BT Sport app for free. This alone is worth £10/mth, making it worth it, especially if you want to watch the Champions League anywhere online.

Use a good VPN service

If you're out of the country for any of the Champions League games, but don't want to miss out on the action, you can stream BT Sport or DAZN over a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN conceals your location, making your device and apps think you're browsing from any country that you want. So, for example, you can log into BT Sport from the US and watch the game as if you were watching it on your PC at home. It's good practice to use a VPN because it protects all your browsing traffic from everyone, including your ISP. VPNs are especially useful if you travel often because public Wi-Fi networks can be easily breached.

The Champions League Today

Roughly 80 teams compete in the Champion’s League each season, primarily from domestic European leagues. The UEFA Coefficient is a tool used to rank the standard of these leagues, and the number of teams that can qualify depends on the league’s UEFA Coefficient. F

or example, the top four finishers of the English Premier League qualify for the group stages of the following year’s Champions League, as it is considered one of the strongest leagues in the world, and thus retains a consistently high UEFA coefficient.

Whereas Turkey, whose domestic league is not as strong, can only have one team qualify from their domestic league per season.

The Last 32 Stages

The tournament is not considered to have ‘properly’ begun until the 32 team group stage, where teams are split into 8 divisions of four in a round-robin format.

Teams are divided based on a draw, which utilizes seeding, with an additional condition that teams from the same nation cannot compete against each other at this stage.

The top two finishers of the round-robin from each division qualify for the next 16.

A series of further matches takes place between the final 16, which is known as the ‘knockout stage’ slowly reducing the pool until the quarter-finals take place.
