This is a list of television broadcasters which provide coverage of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Women's Champions League, European football's top level continental competitions, as well as the UEFA Super Cup. Starting from the 2021âÂÂ22 season, during the group stage, two UCL matches will kick off at 18:45 CET (instead of 18:55 previously) and the rest of the matches, including knockout stage and the final will continue to kick-off at 21:00 CET.
UEFA sells the broadcast rights in a three-season basis and various packages are available for bidders, with UEFA weighing balance between free and pay television under the UEFA and European Union (EU) agreement. While balancing between free and pay television, if the rights do not sell within "sales windows", the rights may be sold on an individual basis to pay-per-view television broadcasters.
UEFA only markets the media rights to the last qualifying phase, group stages and final phase of the Champions League. The national associations, their affiliated organisations or clubs market the commercial rights to the first three qualifying phases.
