How to Watch UEFA Champions League on FireStick for Free

I will mention free, paid, and cheaper ways to stream all the Champions League matches online. Read the entire post to learn everything.

Note: The post will focus on Amazon Fire TV. The official apps are available on all your smart devices. The unofficial ones are limited to Fire TV only.

The best European clubs are all set to compete in one of the most prestigious football leagues in the world. However, you don’t need to visit the crowded stadium to catch the live action. Fans can easily watch every Champions League match on FireStick at home without cable. I will include free and paid ways, so read till the end.

What Is the Champions League?

Most local leagues, such as the English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A, are dominated by one or two clubs. Sometimes, it can be boring for fans to see Barcelona or Manchester United repeatedly winning local leagues.

The real action happens when top clubs from European countries compete with each other in the Champions League.

After several transfers of well-known players, we wouldn’t be surprised to see a new club emerging as the winner in the upcoming Champions League.

A maximum of five teams from each country can qualify for the Champions League. A total of 32 teams qualify and compete in the league. Those who fail to qualify will battle other teams in the Europa League.

The event will start on 19 September 2023 and conclude on 1 June 2024. The Wembley Stadium in London, UK, will host the 2023-24 Champions League final. This is the last edition with the 32 teams participating in the league. UEFA has announced a new format that will take place in the following year.

2023-24 Champions League Schedule

Who Has Streaming Rights to Air Champions League?

Media companies around the world buy streaming rights to air Champions League matches in their regions. The UEFA strikes a deal with a number of media giants to make sure that Champions League coverage reaches a maximum number of fans around the world.

In the US, it has been a tough fight among ESPN, CBS, and NBCUniversal to get Champions League rights. After all, every media house wants to promote its streaming service by offering exclusive content.

In the end, CBS won the streaming rights for Champions League matches in the US. Therefore, all streaming services that carry the CBS family of live TV channels will air Champions League matches on FireStick.

How to Watch Champions League on FireStick (Official Apps)

Official apps are available from the Amazon App Store on FireStick. You don’t have to sideload them on your device. Since official apps are accessible from the Amazon App Store, it’s perfectly legal to stream any content on them.

As I mentioned, all the streaming services that include the CBS family of channels can stream the Champions League in the US. There is a healthy number of streaming options with different pricing structures and catalogs.

Most of these apps are only available in the US and a handful of other countries. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck if you live somewhere else. Using a VPN service such as ExpressVPN, you can easily access and install US-specific apps on FireStick, regardless of your current region.

Of course, if you are in the US, you don’t need to worry about that. Just review the list below and pick one based on your needs and preferences.

Watch UEFA Champions League in the USA on FireStick

Every media company wants to attract users to their streaming services with sports packages. CBS is no different here. The company recently launched Paramount+ to be your go-to entertainment hub at home. Let’s start the list with it.

1. Paramount+

CBS used to offer a streaming service called CBS All Access, but it was average at best. Then, the company completely revamped the service and rebranded it as Paramount+.

You can watch TV shows, Hollywood content, kids shows, and of course, sports action, including the Champions League, Europa League, NFL, and more.

• Live TV channels: CBSN and local CBS station
• Sports package: Yes
• Movies and TV shows: Yes
• Free trial: 7 days
• Price: $4.99 per month
• DVR storage support: No
• Number of simultaneous connections: 2

You can opt for the one-week free trial, check out the content on offer, and then decide whether to move to a paid plan.

2. Sling TV

Sling TV beats out Paramount+ with dedicated support for live TV channels. Sling TV claims you can stream select Champions League matches with the Sling Orange + Sports Extras plan.

• Live TV channels: 52 channels in the Sling Orange + Sports Extras plan
• Sports package: Yes, dedicated Pro Football plans
• Movies and TV shows: Yes
• Free trial: No
• Price: $27.5 for the first month of Sling Orange + Sports Extras, then $55/month afterward
• DVR storage support: 50 hours
• Number of simultaneous connections: 3

Sling TV used to offer generous 14-day free trials. But now the offer is gone. You can pay $27.5 for a month and check out the reliability of the service. If you are satisfied with what’s on offer, consider opting for a yearly plan to save some bucks.

3. fuboTV

fuboTV is yet another strong contender to consider for streaming the Champions League on FireStick without cable. At first glance, it may seem expensive, but check out the offering in detail, and see how fuboTV justifies its steep price tag.

• Live TV channels: 230+ channels
• Sports package: Yes
• Movies and TV shows: Yes, although the collection is slim
• Free trial: 7 days
• Price: $69.99 per month
• DVR storage support: 1,000 hours
• Number of simultaneous connections: 3+, depending on your plan

fuboTV offers a week-long free trial. It should be enough for you to make up your mind about whether to pay for the premium plan or not.

4. Hulu Live TV

Hulu Live TV should be an ideal option for those looking to replace an age-old cable setup at home with their FireStick. The service has plenty of live TV channels and allows you to add goodies from Disney+ and ESPN+.

In short, the Hulu Live TV package can easily cover your entertainment needs.

• Live TV channels: 75+ channels

• Free trial: 1 month
• Price: $69.99 per month with ESPN+ and Disney+ and live TV channels

If you are a hardcore sports fan and want those awesome shows and movies from Disney, you can’t go wrong with Hulu’s bundle. The service is also available on any platform you can think of.

5. YouTube TV

Riding on YouTube’s striking popularity, Google launched its streaming service called YouTube TV. And it’s off to a flying start with tens of millions of subscribers.

Google is smart enough not to strike a direct deal with the UEFA or any organizing body. Instead, it makes deals with media companies that already have streaming rights. The company banks on providing superior streaming quality to differentiate itself from others.

• Live TV channels: 100+ channels
• Sports package: Yes
• Movies and TV shows: No
• Free trial: 7 days
• Price: $64.99/month for first-time users
• DVR storage support: Unlimited
• Number of simultaneous connections: 3

Sign up for the seven-day free trial and watch Champions League matches for free before committing to a paid plan.

6. DirecTV Stream

The US’s second-largest carrier, AT&T, has made its debut in the streaming space with its AT&T TV service. It it rebranded as DirecTV Stream. The service offers CBS Sports, so you can use it to access Champions League live streaming on FireStick. Let’s take a look at what AT&T brings to the table.

• Live TV channels: 65+ channels in the basic plan; 130+ channels in the ultimate package
• Sports package: Yes, it carries ESPN and CBS Sports
• Movies and TV shows: Yes
• Free trial: No
• Price: $69.99/month
• DVR storage support: 20 hours
• Number of simultaneous connections: 20 at home, 3 away from home

How to Install DirecTV Stream on FireStick

Those on higher postpaid AT&T plans may find the company’s streaming service useful. For everyone else, I advise picking a different option from the list above to stream Champion League matches on FireStick.

Watch the Champions League on FireStick in Canada

Founded back in November 2016, DAZN is a dedicated sports streaming website that holds the rights to stream Champions League matches in Canada.

Sports fans in Canada can’t do without a DAZN subscription. The company holds the official rights not only for the Champions League but also for other popular sports events, such as La Liga, UFC, English Premier League, NFL, and more.

In short, it’s your one-stop solution for all your sports needs. The app is officially available in the Amazon App Store. The subscription is priced at $24.99 per month or $249.99 per year.

Watch the Champions League on FireStick in the UK

Sky Sports and BT Sport dominate the sports space in the UK. This time around, BT Sport has the official rights to stream Champions League matches.

BT Sport offers a native app on FireStick in the Amazon App Store. You need to create an account and subscribe to the £25 Monthly Pass in order to stream the Champions League on the app.

Download the app from the App Store and sign in using your account credentials. After purchasing the Monthly Pass, you will see Champions League under the sports menu.

Watch UEFA Champions League for Free with Official Apps

As you can see from the list above, most of the services I talked about offer a free trial for first-time subscribers. You can combine those free trials and enjoy Champions League matches for free for the first few weeks.

You need to consider two things before signing up for a free trial. First, it has to be your first time with the service. You won’t be eligible for a free trial if you have signed up before. In that case, you can create a new email address and use it for free trials across all the services.

Second, I recommend investing in a task management app like Todoist, TickTick, or Google Tasks. Add a reminder to cancel each service before the free trial ends, so the service doesn’t charge you.

• Start your free trial with fuboTV. Sign up for a 7-day free trial and watch Champions League coverage for free.
• YouTube TV’s free trial lasts 21 days. Take advantage of the trial to watch three more weeks of the Champions League for free.
• CBS’s Paramount+ service also lets eligible users sign up for a 7-day free trial.

Combine all the free trials from the list above, and you are easily looking at over one month of free Champions League coverage.

Just don’t forget to cancel each service before the due date. After all, you have to sign up for automatic payments that start when the free trial ends. If you’re not careful, you could be looking at a shocking credit card bill at the end of the month.

Once you go a free route, it can be not easy to start paying for a service. Here’s where alternatives come into play. Those alternatives are free or low-cost compared to official apps. Let’s talk about them.

Watch the Champions League on FireStick (Unofficial Apps)

Since it’s built on Android OS, FireStick can install nearly any third-party streaming app.

But before you go ahead and start installing random apps on FireStick, let’s talk about the legal troubles you should avoid.

Shield Your FireStick Activities

 Legal Disclaimer: This tutorial is purely educational. FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, operate, resell, or distribute any streaming apps, addons, websites, IPTV or services. The page contains some unverified services, and we are not certain whether they hold legal licenses to distribute the content. FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality of each app/service in all regions. Do your due diligence if you use any of the unverified apps/services, and stream only content that is available in the public domain. The end-user shall be solely responsible for the media accessed. 

Some IPTV services, third-party apps, and Kodi addons aren’t available in the Amazon App Store, Google Play Store, or official Kodi repository. That alone raises some alarming questions about the legal status of their content.

If you go this route to stream the Champions League, you could break the law unknowingly. Media companies in your region likely hold the official rights to stream the Champions League. In that case, streaming the same sports events via a different source could get you in trouble.

Your local ISP company and government can easily track your location and observe your FireStick activities. If they find you watching unlicensed content on FireStick, you could be looking at some legal troubles in the future.

You need to protect your FireStick activities by investing in a VPN app. I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is packed with tons of security features. It is easily the #1 VPN service available for Amazon Fire TV devices.

Here’s how to install ExpressVPN on FireStick:

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

You can also read more detailed info on using ExpressVPN with Fire TV / Stick.

IPTV Services

Power FireStick users must have heard about IPTV services before. IPTV services offer thousands of live TV channels (including sports), movies, and TV shows for a small monthly fee.

IPTV services also support PPV events. So you can watch those smashing WWE matches as well.

I have curated a list of the best IPTV services on the web. During my testing, I found that most support the channels required to stream Champions League matches.

But as I mentioned before, FireStickTricks.com can’t verify whether the streamed content is legally licensed. Users are on their own when deciding which route to go.

You’ll be better off using ExpressVPN to keep yourself safe from potential future troubles.

Subscribe to an IPTV service (most offer a free trial, so take advantage of that), integrate it with an IPTV player such as TiviMate, IPTV Smarter, or Flix IPTV, and pop some popcorn to enjoy Champions League matches on FireStick at home.

Kodi Addons and Third-Party Streaming Apps

One of the reasons for the jailbreaking trend on FireStick is Amazon’s crackdown on third-party apps on the device. Being a responsible company, Amazon doesn’t allow unverified third-party apps in the App Store because they could carry unlicensed content.

The same is true of Kodi. Kodi addons that may stream unlicensed content are not available in the official Kodi repository.

So users have to sideload third-party apps and addons instead. There are plenty of third-party apps and addons on FireStick that allow users to stream UEFA Champions League matches for free or a negligible fee.

You can browse through the best Kodi addons for the Champions League or select an app from the best third-party free IPTV apps.

Try a Sports Streaming Website

There are dozens of sports streaming websites that claim to stream Champions League matches for free. You can use the Amazon Silk Browser on FireStick to stream Champions League matches through these sites without paying a dime.

So what’s the catch here? How can such content be free to viewers? These websites’ admins typically integrate harmful trackers and ads to steal your data and personal information. You can use an ad blocker on a desktop browser, but such functionality isn’t available with the Amazon Silk Browser on FireStick.

You can use Google Chrome on FireStick to enable an ad blocker, but Chrome is not optimized for the FireStick remote, so you will have difficulty navigating the interface.

Even if you work around the malicious code and inconvenient popups on free sports streaming sites, they usually offer low-quality streams that buffer often. I advise staying away from free sports streaming websites as much as possible. Try to go with official apps, IPTV services, or Kodi addons for a better streaming experience.

FAQs

Where can I stream the Champions League?

US users can watch Champions League matches on several streaming options, including Paramount+, YouTube TV, AT&T TV, Hulu Live TV, Sling TV, and fuboTV.

Where can I watch the Champions League for free?

The free methods to watch Champions League matches include IPTV services, third-party streaming apps, and Kodi addons. Those routes may not be legal in your country, so invest in a VPN to protect your privacy and streaming activities.

How can I watch the Champions League on a smart TV?

Most of the official apps that I mentioned are readily available to download on Android TV, Apple TV, Roku, and other smart devices. After all, these services want to reach the largest audience they can.

Wrapping Up

In this guide, I showed you how to watch UEFA Champions League on FireStick for free without cable, as well as with premium non-cable services. The UEFA Champions League is where you can see the true potential of a club. That’s why football fans rate the tournament higher than national football leagues. Get the apps I recommended so you don’t miss a single match!
