BBC Sport has signed a five-year deal to broadcast live UEFA Women’s Champions League matches from this season.

Up to seven live matches each season will be on BBC TV, iPlayer and BBC Sport website, including the final, both legs of one semi-final and four matches from earlier in the competition.

The first game on the BBC will be Manchester United versus PSG on 12 November, followed by Chelsea against Barcelona eight days later.

BBC Director of Sport Alex Kay-Jelski told BBC Sport: “This is a great moment for women’s football and for BBC Sport.

“Bringing the Uefa Women’s Champions League to a free-to-air audience is huge, but what makes this truly game-changing is our digital offering.

“Our multi-platform strategy means fans won’t just watch the biggest games live on TV, they’ll experience the best moments, goals and highlights across our website, app and social media platforms.

“We’re making the competition more accessible, more visible and more connected than ever before”.
