The BBC will show Champions League football for the first time in 2024 after a successful bid in UEFA's TV auction rights. Amazon were also winners in the bid as they will show live matches for the first time also.
BT Sport retained the bulk of the TV rights and will continue to show Europe's elite competition in its new format from 2024. BT Sport is set to form a new joint venture with Warner Bros Discovery, and retaining the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League rights was one of the top priorities.
The package the BBC have secured means they will be able to show highlights from the matches on a Wednesday night in what will be a midweek Match of the Day show.
