Watch Champions League matches live – The alternative to Amazon Prime
This is the alternative to Amazon Prime: The broadcast of the Champions League is fragmented again in the 2022/23 season. Amazon Prime will broadcast 16 selected games – out of a total of 137 games. 121 matches will be shown on the sports streaming service DAZN. Only the final will be shown on free TV (ZDF).
So if you want to watch as many matches live as possible, there is unfortunately no way around DAZN. For example, the second semi-final match "AC Milan - FC Internazionale Milano" on 10 May will be shown here. But this option is subject to a fee.
This is what DAZN costs: Unfortunately, the streaming service DAZN, which focuses purely on sports, no longer offers a free trial month, but the following three subscription models:
- DAZN Unlimited for €29.99 per month
- DAZN Standard for €24.99 per month
- DAZN World for €9.99 per month
If you want to watch the Champions League, you have to choose the Unlimited or the Standard model. The monthly subscription can be cancelled monthly, the annual subscription is valid for twelve months. You can find an overview of the respective contents and advantages here:
