Is Arsenal v Bayern Munich on TV? Channel, kick-off time and to watch Champions League clash

Europe’s two most in-form teams lock horns in the Champions League as Arsenal play host to Bayern Munich.

The Gunners, fresh off their demolition of north London rivals Tottenham, are seven points clear at the top of the Premier League and have emerged as the clear favourites to lift the title this season, which would put an end to their painful run of second-place finishes.

Bayern, meanwhile, are back dominating the Bundesliga and have won every game bar one in all competitions, only dropping points away at Union Berlin ahead of the November international break.

Both Arsenal and Bayern have won all four of their league phase games so far this term, though that will be sure to change come the end of the blockbuster clash at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta, hoping for a big performance, will look to take attention back off London rivals Chelsea ahead of their meeting this weekend, with the Blues crushing Barcelona on Tuesday night.

Here’s everything you need to know:

When is Arsenal vs Bayern Munich?

Arsenal’s clash with Bayern Munich kicks off at 8pm GMT on Wednesday 26 November at the Emirates Stadium in London.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the UK can watch the game live on TNT Sports 1 or TNT Sports Ultimate, with live coverage starting from 7pm. Subscribers can also stream the game on discovery+.

Confirmed line-ups

Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Mosquera, Lewis-Skelly; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Merino, Trossard.

Bayern Munich XI: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Stanisic; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Karl, Gnabry; Kane.

Team news

Mikel Arteta has made just two changes to the side that thrashed Tottenham last time out, with both coming in defence. Piero Hincapie is replaced by Cristhian Mosquera at centre-back, while Myles Lewis-Skelly comes in for Riccardo Calafiori at left-back.

The midfield trio of Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice and derby hero Ebere Eze continues, while Mikel Merino leads the line once again.

Bayern boss Vincent Kompany makes three changes to the team that beat Freiburg 6-2 on Saturday. In defence, Tom Bischof makes way for Konrad Laimer at full-back, while Leon Goretzka drops out of midfield in place of Joshua Kimmich.

In attack, Harry Kane leads the line but the injured Luis Diaz drops out for Serge Gnabry, who takes a place on the wing alongside 17-year-ols sensation Lennart Karl.
