Champions League night is back with Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig headlining — what is the cheapest legal way to watch in the US without cable?
I cut cable last year and Champions League nights keep catching me out. Tonight has Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig headlining, plus a full slate of fixtures, and I cannot tell from the listings whether one subscription covers everything or whether games are split across services. For someone in the US who only cares about the Champions League, not a whole sports bundle: which single service gets you the most games, and is there a free-to-air or trial route that actually works for a one-off big night?

- Paramount+ only, skip the add-ons
One subscription covers almost all of it. In the US the Champions League lives on Paramount+ with select games on CBS, so start there and check tonight's fixture list before you pay for anything else. The trap is stacking a second sports app for one game you could watch on a free CBS broadcast or a trial. If your must-watch game is not on the CBS list, a single month of Paramount+ is still cheaper than any cable sports tier.
