After a couple of weeks off, the UEFA Champions League is back for the quarterfinals.
As always, there’s been plenty of excitement in the world’s biggest club tournament, but soccer fans in the U.S. probably know that figuring out where to watch Champions League games can be tricky in the States. To make sure you can catch every game, we’ve outlined a full guide on how to watch the Champions League online this year — including a few options that let you stream Champions League games for free.
Where to Watch Champions League Online: Streaming Guide

If you have a cable or satellite package, you’ll be able to watch some matches on CBS (for English commentary) or TUDN and UniMás (for Spanish commentary). However, you’ll need to get the streaming service Paramount+ if you want to watch every Champions League game live online this year.
