The Champions League continues to heat up as the semi-finals get underway from Tuesday, the 29th of April, starting with Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain to kick off the first leg.
The Arsenal vs PSG Champions League semi-final will start at 8:00pm BST / 3:00pm ET. Depending on where you planning on watching from across the world, though, exactly where you need to go to watch the match will differ. In the UK, the match will be ready to stream on Amazon Prime — which has a 30-day trial available for new subscribers.
While Arsenal has once again laid out the various viewing options available in each country, the best among the handful of choices in the United States is watching it on Paramount+ US, which still has a seven-day trial available.
How to Watch the Champions League Semi-Final Online
We've spoken before about how Paramount+ is one of the best streaming services for sports at $7.99 minimum, and it's been no different for the Champions League.
If you are eligible for a free trial, however, make sure that you turn off your auto-renew so you don't get charged at the end of the week if you don't plan on using the service afterwards. The same goes for Amazon Prime in the UK.
How to Watch for Free
However, if you've already used the free trial for each streaming service in your country, respectively, you can use a VPN so you can get around the geo-blockers and make use of the other country's service where the match will also be available.
For example, sporting events like Champions League Matches aren't available on the US' version of Amazon Prime. However, if you use a VPN to change your location to London—like SurfShark, which is running an 87% off sale until the end of the month—you can sign up for a 30-day Amazon Prime trial, watch the match, cancel your membership, and enjoy the rest of the semi-final matches still due for the Champions League.
Just the day after Arsenal vs Paris, Barcelona will be facing Inter Milan on Wednesday, the 30th of April—with the second leg match taking place on Tuesday, the 6th of May. Then, to finish the second leg, Paris will be facing Arsenal once again.
In-between games, you can make the use of either your UK Amazon Prime or US Paramount+ subscriptions for expert pre- and post-match coverage. You can even check out replays of past games you missed, giving you one of the best-value deals you can get out of a free trial and modestly priced VPN subscription.
How to Watch Arsenal vs. PSG in the UK
Those in the UK will be able to watch the Arsenal vs PSG Champions League Final on Amazon Prime, with the 30-day trial still available for new subscribers. Otherwise, you can pay £8.99 a month/£95 a year for a membership.
While you can still watch re-plays of previous matches, Prime also has a ton of Premier League content to enjoy as well—with the All or Nothing Arsenal documentary series being one of the biggest highlights.
On the other hand, if you've both already used a Prime membership and are short on cash to spend on just one month of the service, you can use one of the VPNs mentioned above to change your device's location to the US and make use of the week-long trial for the US' version of Paramount+.
