How to watch Rangers vs Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final on your TV for FREE on YouTube

BT Sport this week confirmed that their coverage of both the UEFA Europa and UEFA Champions League will be free-to-air on their YouTube channel.

The broadcast giant has held exclusive rights to UEFA-run competitions since 2015 and will continue to do so until at least the end of the 2023-24 season.

While their sport packages ordinarily start from a minimum of £16 per month, BT have opted once again to allow online coverage free of charge. Build-up to the game gets underway on Wednesday, May 18, from 6.30pm here.

If your only way to access YouTube is through your computer or mobile phone, there are a number of ways for you to stream events on the big screen.

Smart TVs

First of all, the easiest solution is of course to download the YouTube app to your Smart TV if you haven't already done so. Many Smart TVs come with YouTube pre-installed, while others require you to download them manually from their app store.

Games Consoles

The YouTube app is available to download on several games machines including Xbox consoles and PlayStation devices. On Xbox, visit the Xbox App Store. PlayStation users, meanwhile, can visit the dedicated PlayStation store. The YouTube app is available on both free of charge.

Streaming Devices

A simple way of connecting YouTube to your TV is through the various streaming devices that are available such as the Amazon Fire Stick or the Google Chromecast.

The Fire Stick works in much the same way as the games consoles do in that YouTube will need to be downloaded and installed from their dedicated app store.

The Google Chromecast meanwhile can be controlled through your mobile, tablet, and computer. Before you start, make sure both are connected to the same WiFi network before you proceed. From there, click the cast icon (below at the top, right of centre) and what is on your phone screen should then cast to your television.

Laptop or Computer

To use a computer to control YouTube on your TV, go to the website www.youtube.com/pair. From there, launch the YouTube app on your television. Then enter the code on the TV into the box on the computer that says "Enter TV code".

Get BT Sport

Of course, while we all love a good freebie, you may be interested in signing up to BT Sport regardless - and now is actually a pretty opportune time to do so given they are currently offering half-price discounts.

Alternatively, for those of you who do not wish to be tied down to a fixed-term monthly deal, BT also have their £25 Monthly Pass.
