Coverage explained
How BBC Sport Champions League coverage works
Wednesday-night highlights across BBC platforms
BBC says highlights become available from 22:00 on Wednesdays of Champions League matchweeks across BBC TV, iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and app. The Match of the Day programme follows later on BBC One, with the exact start time set by that night’s schedule.
Live radio is different from live video
BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds can carry live audio commentary for selected matches. That does not mean the same game has a live BBC television or iPlayer video stream.
Best for catching up without choosing one live feed
The BBC programme brings together goals, turning points and analysis from the matchweek. Use the website or app for individual clips, or iPlayer for the full highlights programme after it becomes available.

BBC Sport Champions League FAQs
Does BBC show live Champions League matches?
BBC is the UK highlights partner rather than the regular live-video broadcaster. TNT Sports and HBO Max carry the main live package, with a featured Tuesday match on Prime Video.
When are Champions League highlights available on BBC?
BBC says clips are available from 22:00 on Wednesdays of matchweeks, followed by a Champions League Match of the Day programme on BBC One and iPlayer later that evening.
Can I listen to Champions League matches live on BBC?
Selected matches can have live radio commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live or BBC Sounds. Audio availability does not create a live BBC video stream.
