What time is the Champions League Final? Watch Dortmund vs Real Madrid

By

Borussia Dortmund enter today’s Champions League final with a chance to become just the eighth club with multiple titles since 1990. The only thing standing in their way? Real Madrid, the most successful outfit in Champions League history–winners of 14 titles overall and five in the last decade alone. It’s a fascinating contrast in what is undoubtedly one of the biggest single-game events in all of sports. Madrid, the historical powerhouse who ran away with another La Liga title this year, up against Dortmund, the fiery underdogs who stumbled to fifth in Bundesliga. It’s no surprise that Carlo Ancelotti’s squad is seen as huge favorites on Saturday at Wembley, but all of that can be thrown out the window in a game like this. When it comes down to it, both teams are 90 minutes away from the sport’s ultimate prize. Here’s how to watch the Champions League final.

When is the Champions League Final?

If you live in the United States, Dortmund vs Real Madrid starts at 3:00 p.m. ET/12:00 p.m. (Noon) PT. Fortunately, unlike some other sports (ahem, NBA), the start time is the actual start time, meaning the first kick should be exactly at 3:00 p.m. ET. Match coverage on CBS will begin at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT.

How to live steam the Champions League Final

There are a bevy of different ways you can watch a live stream of Dortmund vs Real Madrid in the United States. Most live-TV streaming services include CBS–which will televise the match–but Fubo (“Pro” channel package), YouTube TV (“Base Plan”) and DirecTV Stream (“Entertainment” plan or above) are the three that have CBS available live in the most markets and come with a free trial.

If you happen to have used up all those free trials previously and want the cheapest overall option, you can also watch a live stream of the match in either English or Spanish on Paramount+. The “Essential” plan, which is all you need to watch the game, comes with a seven-day free trial but is only $6 per month otherwise.

FLA Live Arena before Florida Panthers NHL game.

After coming up seven goals short in their bid for a first-ever Stanley Cup, the Florida Panthers return home for Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers tonight. The Panthers are still certainly in control of the series, but a loss here would make things significantly more uneasy, as the series would then head back to Edmonton for a Game 6.

Game 5 of the Stanley Cup is about to begin, at 8:00 p.m. ET. If you live in the United States and want to watch, it will be televised on ABC, but if you don't have cable and would rather watch a live stream, there are also a bevy of different ways you can stream the NHL playoffs.

How to watch Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin live stream: PPV cost, time, and more

Gervonta "Tank" Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) is making his long awaited return to the ring this weekend. In June of 2023 he got a decisive win over Ryan Garcia in the highest-selling PPV event since Mayweather-McGregor. Garcia took a knee after a crippling liver shot and couldn't beat the count. Davis has since spent a short stint in prison, which calls into question his readiness for the fight. Frank Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) is undefeated and may try to take advantage of Davis' long layoff.

The co-feature fight sees David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs), the undefeated super middleweight who has long sought a fight with Canelo Alvarez, step up to the light heavyweight division and challenge Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs) for the WBC Interim belt. Gvozdyk's only defeat was to Artur Beterbiev, another potential opponent for Benavidez if he wins tonight and decides to stay in the light heavyweight division.
