Broadcasting rights can vary around the world, and which platform has the respective rights for the new format is not a secret, so before we get into it we will outline everything you need to know if you find yourself in Pakistan and want to watch the Champions League 2025/26 live. 

The best way to watch Champions League 2025/26 live in Pakistan will be on tapmad, and it will be an uninterrupted experience of the best tournament in Europe.  

Pakistan – tapmad

For all Champions League 2025/26 aficionados in Pakistan, the only safe way to watch Champions League 2025/26 live matches is on tapmad. As UEFA's official streaming partner in Pakistan, tapmad guarantees fans access to all fixtures where UEFA Champions League Matches are played, whether it's the league phase, knockout phase dramas or the Budapest final on 30 May 2026.

Unlike the international public service broadcasters or the commercial broadcasters, tapmad is a locally relevant and specific platform and does not add issues as a result of geo-blocking or restricted coverage, allowing high-quality streaming of every fixture so that fans in Pakistan can attend Europe's top club competition. 

United Kingdom & Ireland – TNT Sports (previously BT Sport)  

For viewers in Britain and Ireland, the match is on TNT Sports, which is the new name for BT Sport. TNT Sports is broadcasting all of the Champions League matches, including the new league stage, with both TV and streaming available. For subscribers and licensed users on the Discovery+ app, the match will be streamed and will be available on either a TV or a mobile screen.  This arrangement continues the long-standing ownership of Champions League rights previously held by BT/TNT in Britain, making them the home for English-language viewers in Britain.

United States – CBS & Paramount+, ESPN+ Coverage

In the US, CBS Sports broadcasts Champions League matches with full streaming coverage on Paramount+. The website features live games, highlights, and studio shows exclusively for US audiences. Some of the matches are also broadcast on CBS's linear TV channels.

Although Paramount+ is the de facto home, ESPN+ still airs selected UEFA events in the US, and Champions League coverage is still the exclusive domain of CBS/Paramount+. Streaming-first is for US viewers a testament to the growing popularity of the tournament on new media.

Canada – DAZN

Champions League 2025/26 can be caught on DAZN for those in Canada. It enjoys exclusive media rights. DAZN offers access to all league stage matches to the final, along with highlights and on-demand replays. Its pay-per-view strategy means that Canadian fans never miss out on blockbuster games such as Real Madrid vs Manchester City or Bayern Munich vs Arsenal.

Europe – Comprehensive Coverage

Across mainland Europe, various broadcasters televised the tournament:

Canal+ and RMC Sport in France, or if you happen to be in Germany, then you can fall back on Sky Deutschland and DAZN. Movistar+ in Spain. Sky Italia and Amazon Prime Video (Italy).

Middle East & North Africa – beIN SPORTS

To MENA viewers around the world, beIN SPORTS remains the sole broadcaster. The network provides comprehensive coverage in both English and Arabic commentary. beIN has MENA viewers watching everything from group matchdays through to the final in Budapest, all step by step with commentaries by experts and detailed analyses.

Asia-Pacific & Other Markets

• Australia & New Zealand: Stan Sport (Australia) and Spark Sport (NZ) traditionally carry UEFA rights.
• Japan: Wowow and DAZN.
• South Korea & Southeast Asia: Regional deals, often with DAZN and local sports channels.

For Asian fans outside Pakistan, UEFA’s official UEFA.tv platform also provides highlights, magazine shows, and live coverage of selected youth and women’s competitions. However, it does not stream full Champions League matches in most territories due to rights restrictions.

Conclusion

The Champions League 2025/26 is changing format, and expanding globally through various broadcasters alike.  As well as TNT Sports in the UK, and Paramount+ in the US, DAZN in Canada, and beIN SPORTS in most of MENA, fans from around the world will have varying opportunities to follow the biggest clubs in Europe compete for glory.  For the Pakistani fans, the answer is simple: tapmad is your exclusive platform for live streaming the UEFA Champions League every match, every moment, and the route to the Budapest final!
