Real Madrid are aiming to get back on top in Europe in Xabi Alonso’s debut campaign at the helm. Their arch-rivals Barcelona came close last year and are striving to go one better. English duo Liverpool and Arsenal also have the trophy in their sights.
Can Man City challenge after an off-year in 2024/2025? Will Napoli mount a challenge from Serie A? Are Bayern Munich ready to be crowned kings of the continent once more? There are so many fascinating questions to be answered over the next few months.
You won’t want to miss any of the action, so here’s how to watch 2025-26 Champions League live streams online and from anywhere.
