Where can I Watch the Champions League?
Almost every region in the world has its own broadcaster when it comes to the Champions League. At the moment, these are the official broadcasters all around the world: Most of the broadcasters mentioned above will have a channel on which they’ll show the Champions League. Some might be paid, some might be free. However, if you’re not in your home country right now, or you don’t want to pay extra for a subscription, there is a way to watch it from abroad or for free! (or both). Read on to find out more.
Watch Real Madrid – Chelsea Abroad
If you have a paid subscription to a local streaming service, chances are you are able to access those from abroad. In fact, in the EU, paid subscriptions should work all throughout the EU. This isn’t the case for all countries and regions though. For example, a subscription to BT Sport in the UK shouldn’t work outside of the UK. If you find yourself outside of the region your streaming service works, you can use a VPN to change your IP address. This way, even when you’re not in the correct location, you can still get access to your streaming service of choice. Using the example of BT Sport, this means you could watch it from outside of the UK, as long as you use a VPN to change your IP to an IP address from the UK. You can read a step-by-step guide on how to do this at the end of the article. Note: getting a subscription to a service in another country can be quite difficult. For example, a lot of streaming services require you to sign up and use a regional method of payment or credit card that’s registered to a local address. However, we found an English option where you don’t need this, meaning you can watch it entirely for free.
Watch Real Madrid – Chelsea For Free
Using a VPN to change your IP address is useful for more things than just unblocking paid subscriptions when you’re abroad. You can use a VPN to gain access to free Champions League streams from other countries as well. This way, you won’t have to pay anything to watch the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Chelsea, at all! We’ve found that the Irish Broadcaster RTÉ broadcasts the match on RTÉ 2 for free (no account needed), a channel you can watch online using Surfshark. Seeing as Surfshark also has a money-back guarantee, you end up not having to pay anything and can still watch Real vs. Chelsea with English commentary for free. To watch the Champions League (for free) with a VPN, see our step-by-step guide below.
Using a VPN to Watch Champions League (for Free)
In order to watch the Champions League with a VPN, you’re going to need a VPN. So the first thing to do is get a subscription with a good VPN provider. We recommend Surfshark because it works with the free option RTÉ 2, but if you don’t want to watch it on RTÉ, most paid VPNs will do the trick. We don’t recommend getting a free VPN, these usually have a limited amount of servers and may throttle your speed. Surfshark also has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can get your money back, no questions asked. Tip: we recommend you test beforehand whether your chosen VPN works well with the streaming service you want to watch the Champions League on. Sometimes it can be that a specific server is blocked by the site or streaming service. Often you can easily solve this by connecting to another server in the same country with the same VPN service. Not all VPNs or servers might work with a certain streaming server, so be aware that you might have to change servers once or twice if it doesn’t work right away. For example, we could get RTÉ 2 to work with Surfshark’s Irish servers, but not with PIA’s. This changes over time and between servers and VPN providers, but there are usually servers that work about (such as Surfshark with RTÉ at the time of writing). Disclaimer: This article provides tips on how to watch the Champions League from abroad using your favorite streaming service, which you may already have a subscription to. However, each region and streaming service has different rules regarding VPN use, so always make sure you act according to the agreement you may have entered into with the streaming service in question.
