Upcoming fixtures · next 14 days

Paramount+ holds the comprehensive US rights to the UEFA Champions League, plus Europa League, Conference League, and Serie A, across the current cycle through 2030. Every fixture across the three UEFA club competitions is on Paramount+ in the US, with one match per matchweek also broadcast on the free CBS Golazo YouTube channel as the league’s “match of the week”.

How the league-phase format works

The 2024-25 Champions League introduced an eight-matchday league phase with 36 clubs. Each club plays eight different opponents across the league phase, with the top eight teams advancing directly to the Round of 16 and teams ranked 9-24 entering a Knockout Phase Playoff.

Paramount+ broadcasts:

  • All eight league-phase matchdays — typically a Tuesday and Wednesday across September through January.
  • All knockout-phase playoff fixtures — February.
  • The Round of 16, Quarter Final, Semi Final, and Final.

A typical league-phase Tuesday or Wednesday has six matches kicking off at 12:45 PM ET (the 18:45 CET window) and 3:00 PM ET (the 21:00 CET window). Paramount+ carries every match on multi-view, with the headline match also linear-broadcast on CBS Sports Network for cable subscribers.

CBS Golazo — the free match of the week

The CBS Golazo Network is a free YouTube channel that streams one Champions League match per league-phase matchweek live and free, plus a selection of Europa League and Conference League fixtures. The “match of the week” selection is made by CBS Golazo’s editorial team and tends to feature one of the marquee fixtures (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal).

The CBS Golazo coverage includes the same studio panel that anchors the Paramount+ broadcast: Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards.
