This week's Champions League fixtures

Yesterday (April 16) saw PSG and Dortmund book their places in the Champions League final four after two highly entertaining quarter-final matches, and now it's time for another two teams to secure their spot in the semi-final of the most elite club competition in European soccer. 

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal and Man City vs Real Madrid are balanced on a knife edge after the first leg in both matchups finished as a draw (2-2 and 3-3, respectively). With the away goal rule no longer in play, that means there's anything to play for tonight. The challenge will be picking which to watch as they kick off simultaneously. 

• Dortmund 4-2 Atlético Madrid (Tues, Apr. 16) 
• Barcelona 1-4 PSG (Tues, Apr. 16)
• Bayern Munich vs Arsenal (Wed, Apr. 17)
• Man City vs Real Madrid (Wed, Apr. 17)

Champions League live streams around the world

How to watch Champions League live streams of every game

Every Champions League 23/24 game will be streamed live online somewhere in the world. The trick is in finding out where.

In the U.K., for example, all 125 games in the Champions League 23/24 group stages and knockout rounds will be streamed live on TNT Sports.

That's good news wherever you are because a VPN — or virtual private network — will let you tune into U.K. coverage from anywhere on the planet. And the same goes for every other country. So, if you're a Brit on vacation in the U.S., you'll be able to use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live on your usual services.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can check it out without having to sign up for a long-term subscription. 

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Paramount Plus or another service and watch the game.
