The 2026-27 UEFA Champions League is already underway. The final play-off matches will be played on August 25 and 26, 2026.

The winners will join the 29 teams already qualified for the league phase. The main league phase begins on September 8, 2026.

RTÉ Player (Ireland) streams selected UCL matches for free, while LiveModeTV (Portugal) offers one free match per round through its official YouTube channel.
