Women’s Champions League broadcasting from this season will be a five-year contract with BBC Sport.

Up to seven live games, including the final, will be available to watch each season on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website and app under the terms of the contract, which runs until 2030.

One semi-final and four matches from earlier will be played in addition to the other matches.

The best moments from other games will also be accessible on BBC Sport’s social media and digital platforms.

The first match of the BBC’s coverage of Manchester United’s upcoming Premier League game against Paris St-Germain will be on November 12, followed by Chelsea’s encounter with Barcelona on November 20.

Throughout the season, BBC Radio 5 Live will continue to provide live commentary on the biggest games.

This is a fantastic time for BBC Sport and women’s football, according to BBC Director of Sport Alex Kay-Jelski.

Our digital offering is what truly transforms the Uefa Women’s Champions League, though it is huge to bring it to a free-to-air audience.

Fans will experience the best moments, goals, highlights across our website, app, and social media platforms while benefiting from our multi-platform strategy, according to “our multi-platform strategy.”
