How to watch Liverpool vs. Real Madrid Champions League Final

The Real Madrid vs. Liverpool Champions League Final showdown should be one for the ages, and here’s all the information you need to watch.

The Champions League final is finally here, as Liverpool and Real Madrid will face off for global pride. Despite all of the league victories and rivalries won over the past seasons, there’s perhaps nothing more definitively superior than being crowned the kings of football in Europe, and that’s what’s on the line in France this Saturday.

Neither of these sides is strangers to this stage, in fact, it wasn’t that long ago that they met up in the UCL Final. Back in 2018 Real Madrid emerged victorious over Liverpool, which makes this year’s showdown a rematch in which Liverpool can avenge that prior loss.

It also marks a chance for Liverpool to fully establish itself as a superpower in Europe. Just two years ago the Reds were hoisting the UCL trophy after defeating Tottenham, and they’re back to possibly make it two titles in four years.

No one has to try hard to illustrate how dominant Real Madrid has been in Champions League history. A total of 13 European titles have been returned to Spain by Real and a 14th would continue to emphasize prowess that only grows greater despite otherwise fatal changes like losing Cristiano Ronaldo.

What channel is the Champions League Final on?

In years past, the Champions League Final aired on FOX, thanks to Fox Sports’ ownership of the rights to the tournament. CBS has since swooped in and scooped up the rights to the UCL, which means you’ll be able to watch the Champions League Final on CBS just like you would the Super Bowl.

How fitting, considering that the UCL Final might be an even bigger global deal than the Super Bowl is, despite the popularity of the NFL.

Real Madrid vs. Liverpool Champions League Final live stream: How to watch

In this age of streaming, it’s become increasingly difficult for sports fans to find what they’re looking for. Perhaps it’s the dread of what NBC has done with the Premier League and making soccer fans pay for Peacock to watch the games want to see, but the first thought when seeing that CBS has the Champions League is whether or not it will only stream on Paramount+.

The good news is that it’s not going to be as impossible to watch the UCL Final as it is English football. CBS will air the game on its traditional television, which means you’ll be able to watch the UCL Final on any streaming service you use that carries CBS.

The game also features a number of storylines, including a battle of strikers when UCL top scorer Karim Benzema of Real Madrid looks to boost his scoring tally while taking on Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian is also having a great season, who along with Benzema is vying for the Balon d’Or awarded to the best player in Europe.
