How to watch the Champions League: Five British teams in action this week

Newcastle and Manchester United are back in Champions League action this Tuesday, while Manchester City, Arsenal, and Celtic play on Wednesday.

As it stands, only two of the five British teams will see qualification to the Champions League knockout stages. Arsenal and Manchester City secured the top spot in their groups, with The Gunners remaining resolute in their 6-0 battering of RC Lens, and City securing their fifth straight win of the campaign with a 3-2 victory over RB Leipzig.

Celtic’s exit from the competition was confirmed after suffering a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Lazio, while United rely on a victory over Bayern Munich and a tie between FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray to achieve qualification following their three-all draw against the latter.

Newcastle’s hopes of qualifying to the knockout stages for the first time in the club’s history remain alive following their 1-1 draw against Paris Saint Germain, with the Magpies needing a win against AC Milan and a Dortmund victory over PSG, who currently sit 2-points ahead of the Toon Army.

This Tuesday sees Arsenal travel to the Netherlands for their clash against Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven at 5.45pm on TNT Sports 2, while Manchester United host Bayern Munich at 8pm on TNT Sports 1.

The following evening will see Manchester City face Crvena zvezda on TNT Sports 2 at 5.45pm, Celtic vs Feyenoord at 8pm on TNT Sports 2, and Newcastle take on AC Milan in their crunch game at 8pm on TNT Sports 1.

There are of course a number of other group games that don’t involve British sides taking place and you can find a list of these, along with the channels they’re being broadcast on, below.

How to watch the Champions League in the UK: TNT Sports (part of Discovery+ Premium)

TNT Sports replaced BT Sport in July 2023 and is the only place to legally watch live Champions League action during the 2023/24 season. It will show every single game in the competition live across its four core channels (TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports 2, TNT Sports 3, TNT Sports 4), six red-button digital channels (TNT Sports 5 to 10) and TNT Sports Ultimate, which supports 4K resolution and HDR.

The rebranded platform is part of the Discovery+ network, which is included with BT TV. If you’re an existing BT TV subscriber or have a BT Sport Monthly Pass, you can activate your Discovery+ subscription here. You can also access TNT Sports via the old BT Sport app, though this will be phased out at some point during the season.

New customers can check out the various BT TV packages available here, with fibre broadband and access to the TNT Sports channels currently priced at £47/mth for 24 months plus an upfront fee of £30. Sky TV owners, meanwhile, can add TNT Sports to their Sky package for £25/mth on a 24-month deal.

The simplest way to access TNT Sports, however, is by subscribing to Discovery+ Premium, which doesn’t require you to sign up for a long-term contract and costs £29.99/mth.
