The 2024 Champions League Final (Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid) will be held at 8 PM BST (3 PM EST) on Saturday, June 1 at Wembley Stadium, London. This will be Borussia Dortmund’s third Champions League final and Real Madrid’s 18th appearance. However, it’s the first time the two clubs are meeting in the final. Read on to find out how you can stream every minute of Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid online.
It’s important to note that we’ll only be recommending official live streams. Although streams of the match will almost certainly be hosted elsewhere, these sites are illegitimate and often unreliable. Nobody wants their stream to be taken offline during a penalty shootout, after all. The good news is that the Champions League Final can be watched for free on several different platforms, so there’s no need to resort to any unofficial sources.
Note: the Champions League Final will only air on region-locked services. If you’re outside of your home country and wanting to watch on your usual services, you’ll need a VPN.
How to watch the Champions League Final live online
Even if you’re completely new to VPNs, you shouldn’t have any problems unblocking your favorite streaming services. Below a step-by-step guide to streaming the Champions League Final from anywhere.
Here’s how to stream the Champions League Final live online from anywhere:
- First, decide which VPN you’d like to use. We recommend NordVPN but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are both strong low-cost options as well.
- Download and install the VPN app onto whichever device you’d like to stream the match on.
- Choose one of the official broadcasters below to unblock.
- Connect to a VPN server in the appropriate country. You’ll need a British server to unblock BT Sport from abroad, for instance.
- Try watching something on your chosen service. It should work as though you were actually in the required country. If not, clear your cookies and reload the page or ask your VPN’s support team for help directly.
Where can I watch the Champions League Final live online?
How you watch the game depends on where you are in the world. Below, we’ve broken down the official streams by region, but with a VPN you should be able to watch whichever you’d like.
UK
TNT Sports is the official broadcaster of the Champions League in the UK. If you already have TNT Sports as part of your TV package, you’re already set. However, the good news is that it’s also possible to watch the Champions League final for free in the UK on Discovery+. All you need to do is sign up for a free account.
Both TNT Sports and Discovery+ are region-locked and only available in the UK. This means that you’ll need a VPN and UK IP address to access them abroad. NordVPN comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, though, which makes it easy to watch the Champions League Final. If you’re unsatisfied, just cancel after the match to claim a full refund.
United States
The 2024 Champions League Final will be available on CBS and Paramount+. You can either sign in with your TV provider to watch or, if you don’t have a cable TV subscription, sign up with Paramount+. This requires the Paramount+ with Showtime package which costs $11.99 a month but comes with a one-week free trial. This means that if you cancel in time, you can stream Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid for free.
However, CBS and Paramount+ content is geo-restricted, meaning, you’ll need a VPN and US IP address to access this content from outside of the US.
Germany
German viewers can watch the 2024 Champions League final for free on ZDF‘s website. The game will also be broadcast on Amazon Prime which is priced at €8.99 a month. Finally, you can stream Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid on DAZN although this is a much more expensive option at €29.99 monthly.
ZDF, Amazon Prime, and DAZN are all region-locked. As such, you’ll have to be in Germany or using a VPN and German IP address to use these services.
France
French soccer fans can stream the Champions League Final free of charge on TF1. You will have to create an account beforehand, but this only takes a minute and there’s no need to enter any payment information. Further options include beIN Sports (€15/month) and Canal+ (€29.99/month).
In all cases, platforms are region-locked, so if you’re outside of France, you’ll have to use a French VPN server to unblock it.
Other locations
If you haven’t seen your location yet, don’t worry. The Champions League Final can be watched from almost anywhere in the world. UEFA has an extensive list of official broadcast partners for each region. Just find your country in the list and browse the sources until you find one that’s free, or failing that, one which has a free trial.
It should be noted that not all of these sources will have an online player. Their inclusion in the list simply indicates that they’ll be broadcasting the game somehow, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be hosting a live stream.
Champions League Final FAQs
When does the Champions League Final start?
Kickoff for the Champions League Final is at 8 PM BST on Saturday, June 1. If the match ends in a tie, there’ll be two periods of extra time (each 15 minutes long). Should the teams still be tied after 120 minutes, the winner will be decided via penalty shootout.
Which team is the favorite in the 2024 Champions League Final?
Real Madrid are comfortable favorites to win the 2024 Champions League Final – and for good reason! Playing in their 18th Champions League final and having won 14 of them, it’s hard to bet against them from making it 15 Champions League titles.
Although Real Madrid features the likes of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior, Borussia Dortmund have a few stars of their own in Jadon Sancho and Julian Brandt. As such, they’re certainly capable of springing a surprise. Perhaps this one will go all the way to penalties.
Can I sign up for foreign streaming services?
This really depends on the service. Some require a method of payment registered in a particular country. If the service accepts PayPal, you may be able to sign up regardless, but often, streaming platforms will check the address registered with your account, and if it’s outside of their broadcast area, will prevent you from completing the payment process.
Without a virtual credit card or friend in the target country willing to share their payment information, there’s no easy way to register for these services.
