Champions League Streams

They have already defeated Chelsea and Liverpool on their way to this stage of the competition, and Bayern will be wary of the attacking talent they possess. However, Die Roten will feel they can get at the French side’s back line, with Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz all boasting ridiculous records in 2026.
The other semi-final takes place between Atlético Madrid and Arsenal. Atleti saw off Spanish rivals Barcelona in the last round and won’t fear Arsenal based on what we have seen from the Gunners in recent weeks.
Mikel Arteta’s side have had a fairly straightforward route to the semi-finals, and this will be their first real test of resilience against a Diego Simeone side that knows how to perform on the European stage.
Here's how to watch the Champions League 2025/26 from anywhere in the world.
