Rights holder TNT Sports has broken with tradition by ending free-to-air access to all three European cup finals
All the European cup finals will, this year, no longer be available free-to-air in the UK.
In previous years, the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League finals have been free to watch for football fans in the UK.
This follows guidance from Uefa which says “best endeavours” should be taken to show the finals for free.
Instead, this year, rights holder, TNT Sports, has decided not to offer free access to any of the European cup finals.
Aston Villa play Freiburg in the Europa League final tomorrow (Wednesday, 20 May), Crystal Palace play Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final on Wednesday 27 May and Arsenal play PSG on Saturday 30 May.
Up until this year, TNT Sports, and previously BT Sport and ITV showed European football finals for free. To watch this year’s finals, you’ll need a subscription to TNT Sports, available through HBO Max.
TNT Sport’s rights for all three European cups change from the 2027-28 season, with the Champions League moving to Paramount and Sky Sports picking up the Europa League and Conference League.
