The pick of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League fixtures sees Enzo Maresca's improving Chelsea host a Barcelona team currently leading the pack at the top of the UCL table.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services for watching European Champions League games as they happen, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it's not available where you are.
Chelsea returned to action after the international break with a convincing 2-0 win away at Burnley on Saturday -- a result which lifted them into second place in the English Premier League. The Blues are unbeaten in this tournament so far this term, but had to settle for a disappointing 2-2 draw against Qarabağ in Azerbaijan a few weeks ago.
Barcelona, meanwhile, returned home to the newly refurbished Camp Nou with a blistering 4-0 victory over Athletic Club in La Liga on Sunday to keep them within a point of leaders Real Madrid. Unbeaten in their last four, coach Hansi Flick's men have goalkeeper Joan Garcia and Brazilian star Raphinha both at his disposal following returns from recent injuries.

How to watch every UEFA Champions League 2025-26 game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally due to incorrectly applied blackout restrictions, you may need a different way to watch the game, and that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, plus it's a great idea for when you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So, if your internet provider or mobile carrier has assigned you an IP address that incorrectly indicates your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can resolve this issue by providing you with an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US and Canada, as long as you've got a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should ensure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks. Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming UEFA Champions League matches using a VPN
- With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming Champions League matches may vary.
- If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.
- If you're having trouble accessing the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two quick fixes you can try. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and ensure the address registered for the account is within the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (such as your phone) so that any device connected to its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main sites for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after installing a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to the email address associated with your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also be helpful, as both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
