How to Watch UEFA Europa Conference League 2026⁄27
The UEFA Europa Conference League is UEFA’s third-tier club competition, running from qualifying rounds in the summer through to the final in late May. This guide covers every major region where you can watch the 2026⁄27 season legally, including free and paid options, supported devices, and what to know about geo-restrictions.
Where to Watch in the UK
In the United Kingdom, TNT Sports holds broadcast rights to the UEFA Europa Conference League. TNT Sports is available through several routes:
- Discovery+ (streaming, TNT Sports add-on)
- BT TV (linear and on-demand)
- Sky (TNT Sports channels via add-on)
- Virgin Media (TNT Sports channels via add-on)
A TNT Sports subscription is typically bundled or added on top of an existing pay-TV or broadband package. Standalone streaming access via Discovery+ is available for those without a traditional TV subscription. Check the Discovery+ or TNT Sports website for current pricing tiers, as costs vary depending on whether you already hold a BT broadband or Sky contract.
No free-to-air broadcaster in the UK currently holds Conference League rights for regular-season matches, though highlights may appear on free channels.
Where to Watch in the United States
In the US, Paramount+ and CBS Sports are the home of UEFA club competition coverage, including the Conference League. CBS broadcasts selected matches on its main linear channel, while the full fixture list streams on Paramount+.
Paramount+ offers tiered subscription plans — an Essential (ad-supported) tier and a Showtime-inclusive tier — both of which typically include Conference League streaming rights. Pricing changes periodically, so verify current costs at paramountplus.com.
Cable and satellite subscribers who receive CBS Sports Network may also find select matches on linear TV. Cord-cutters can subscribe to Paramount+ directly without a cable package.
Where to Watch in Australia
Australian viewers have historically had access to UEFA Conference League coverage via 9Now, the free streaming service operated by the Nine Network. The 2025⁄26 Conference League final, for example, was streamed for free on 9Now.
For the 2026⁄27 season, check whether 9Now retains rights for group and knockout-stage matches, or whether coverage is limited to the final. No subscription is required for 9Now; registration with a free account is typically all that is needed to stream.
Where to Watch: Other Major Regions
Canada: Rights are typically held by a streaming or sports broadcaster. DAZN has historically carried UEFA competition rights in Canada — check DAZN.com for current 2026⁄27 availability.
Republic of Ireland: TNT Sports and Virgin Media Ireland have both carried UEFA competition coverage. Verify which broadcaster holds Conference League rights for 2026⁄27.
Germany: DAZN Germany typically carries UEFA Conference League rights. RTL has also held selected match rights in recent seasons.
France: Canal+ and its streaming arm have traditionally carried UEFA club competition rights in France.
Netherlands, Belgium, Nordics: Rights are distributed to local broadcasters and streaming platforms. Viaplay holds rights across several Nordic and Central European markets.
Rest of World: UEFA.tv may carry limited free coverage in regions without a contracted broadcaster. Check the UEFA official site for your territory’s rights holder.
Free and Legal Low-Cost Options
- Australia (9Now): Free with registration — no payment required.
- UEFA.tv: UEFA sometimes streams matches in territories without a rights holder for free. Access depends on your location.
- Free trials: Paramount+ (US), Discovery+/TNT Sports (UK), and DAZN (various markets) periodically offer free trials. Terms change frequently — check directly with each provider.
- Highlights: BBC Sport (UK), ESPN (US), and local broadcasters often publish free highlight packages within hours of matches finishing.
Typical Pricing Tiers
Pricing across platforms changes seasonally and by region, so always verify at the provider’s website. Broadly:
- Streaming-only subscriptions (Paramount+, Discovery+, DAZN) are typically priced monthly or annually, with annual plans offering a discount.
- Pay-TV add-ons (TNT Sports via Sky or Virgin) are priced on top of your base package and vary based on your existing contract.
- Free ad-supported tiers exist on some platforms (e.g., Paramount+ Essential in the US) and may include live sports depending on current licensing arrangements.
Student and bundle discounts are available from some providers. Family or multi-screen plans may cost more than a single-device subscription.
Supported Devices and Apps
Most rights-holding platforms support a wide range of devices:
| Platform | Devices Typically Supported |
|---|---|
| Paramount+ | Smart TVs, iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, PlayStation, Xbox, web |
| Discovery+ / TNT Sports | Smart TVs, iOS, Android, Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire TV, web |
| DAZN | Smart TVs, iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, PlayStation, Xbox, web |
| 9Now | Smart TVs, iOS, Android, Apple TV, web |
Most apps allow simultaneous streaming on two to three screens on a standard plan. Check individual platform terms for screen limits.
Geo-Restrictions and VPNs
All licensed streaming services enforce geo-blocking — the service you subscribe to in the UK will not work if you travel to the US, and vice versa. This is a contractual requirement of the broadcast rights, not a technical error.
Using a VPN to bypass geo-restrictions typically violates a platform’s terms of service. This guide does not recommend or endorse circumventing geo-blocks. If you are travelling, check whether your provider offers a “TV Everywhere” or roaming feature for subscribers abroad.
Some platforms allow downloaded content for offline viewing within their licensed territory, which can be useful for travel within the same country.
Quick Tips Before Subscribing
- Confirm your territory’s rights holder directly on the UEFA website before purchasing a subscription.
- Use an annual plan if you intend to watch the full season — it is typically cheaper than rolling monthly payments.
- Set a calendar reminder before a free trial ends to avoid unexpected charges.
- Smart TV apps are generally more stable for live streaming than browser-based playback on older hardware.
- A wired ethernet connection reduces buffering during live matches compared to Wi-Fi on congested networks.

- How can I watch UEFA Europa Conference League outside my country?
- Licensed streaming services are geo-restricted by territory, so your home subscription will not work abroad.

Always verify your specific territory's rights holder on the official UEFA website before subscribing.
