In this blog post we will provide a list of FTA television broadcasters covering the UEFA Champions League, European football's top level competition. All matches kick-off at 20:45 Central European Time (CET), with the exception of matches held in Russia and Kazakhstan.

UEFA sells the broadcast rights in a three season basis and various packages are available for bidders, making balance between free and pay television under the agreement with European Union. If the rights do not sell within "sales windows", the rights may be sold on an individual basis to pay-per-view television broadcasters.
