Where to watch the Champions League in 2026?
The UEFA Champions League, the most prestigious of club competitions, is split in France between two broadcasters for 2025-2026. Canal+ shows the vast majority of fixtures, spread across the different European nights. Prime Video, Amazon's platform, shows one tie per week, on Tuesday night, usually the pick of the day. There is no other legal broadcaster of the competition in France.
In practice, to follow the whole Champions League you need to combine Canal+ and Prime Video. Each covers part of the calendar, and both are available via streaming on most devices.
Canal+ and Prime Video: who shows what?
The split is easy to remember. Canal+ holds most matches, on every night of the week the competition is played. Prime Video takes one tie per week, on Tuesday, often one of the most attractive. The rest of the Tuesday games, and those on other nights, go to Canal+.
| Broadcaster | What it shows | Approx. price |
|---|---|---|
| Canal+ | Most fixtures, all week | ≈ €29.99/mo |
| Prime Video | One tie per week, Tuesday night | ≈ €6.99/mo (Amazon Prime) |
What budget for the full Champions League?
To miss no Champions League tie, you combine the two subscriptions. The combined indicative budget is around €37/month: about €29.99 for Canal+ and about €6.99 for Amazon Prime. If you already have Amazon Prime for its other services (delivery, series, films), the Tuesday tie is included at no dedicated extra cost, which makes Prime Video especially good value.
- Most matches: Canal+ (≈ €29.99/mo).
- The Tuesday tie: Prime Video, included in Amazon Prime (≈ €6.99/mo).
- Full coverage: Canal+ + Prime Video, about €37/month.
On which devices can you watch?
Both services are available with no special decoder. Canal+ runs through the myCANAL app (mobile, computer, smart TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, operator boxes). Prime Video is available on almost every device, including Amazon Fire TV, smart TVs, consoles and browsers. So you can follow the competition on the screen of your choice.
In summary
To watch the 2026 Champions League in France, remember the rule: Canal+ for most fixtures, Prime Video for the Tuesday match. The full indicative budget is around €37/month, or less if you already have Amazon Prime. It is the only legal, reliable way to follow the whole competition.
