Europa League — Where to Watch

The Europa League and the Conference League are the competitions where the split between markets is easiest to see, because UEFA sells them as a package almost everywhere. If a broadcaster holds the Europa League in a given country, it usually holds the Conference League too, and often the Champions League as well. That means the practical question is not "who has the Europa League?" but "who holds UEFA's club competitions where I live?"

The one country where this is about to change is the UK, and it is worth knowing before you sign a contract.

UK viewers: TNT Sports holds the Europa League and Conference League through 2026-27. From 2027-28 the rights move to Sky Sports. If you are considering a long contract, that matters.

Can you watch it free?

Almost never during the league phase, and the exceptions are conditional rather than guaranteed. There is no market we checked where a Thursday night group match is routinely shown free.

What does exist is free-to-air protection for the closing rounds in countries whose law designates them. France, Germany and Italy all require the final — and in Italy the semi-finals too — to be available free-to-air when a club from that country is involved. Read that carefully: the free coverage is triggered by a local club reaching that stage. In a season with no French, German or Italian club left, there is no free live match at all, and in France the rule extends to the Conference League final on the same terms.

Portugal is the case to be careful about. Portuguese law names one Europa or Conference League match per round involving a Portuguese club, which reads like a guaranteed free game. In practice we could not verify that free coverage is regularly available, so we would not plan around it.

How we define "free". Every option on this site is either a public broadcaster, a free ad-supported tier, an official free trial, or a rights-holder's own channel. We do not list or link to unlicensed rebroadcasts. Note that a VPN does not make a stream legal: reaching a service licensed for another country normally breaches that service's terms, and the bigger platforms actively block it.

The cheapest legal route

United States — Paramount+ Essential at about $8.99/month covers the Europa and Conference Leagues and the Champions League. There is no free trial.
Canada — one DAZN Canada subscription covers all three UEFA competitions plus the Premier League, Bundesliga, LaLiga and Serie A.
UK — TNT Sports through HBO Max, where the 12-month saver plans are cheaper than the monthly rate. Remember the rights move to Sky in 2027-28.
Netherlands — Ziggo Sport is included for Ziggo customers on channel 14, which makes it free if you already take Ziggo broadband or TV.
Australia — Stan Sport is an add-on to a Stan base plan, so the total depends on which base tier you choose.

Who shows the Europa League in the UK?

TNT Sports holds it through 2026-27 and streams it through HBO Max. From 2027-28 the rights move to Sky Sports, so it is worth checking the date before committing to a long contract.

Is the Europa League on Paramount+?

Yes, in the United States. Paramount+ holds the English-language US rights to the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.

Are the Europa League and Conference League always on the same service?

In every market we checked, yes. UEFA sells them together, so the broadcaster with one usually has the other, and often the Champions League too.

Can I watch the Europa League final for free?

Only in countries whose law protects it, and only when a club from that country is in the final. France, Germany and Italy all require it in that situation. Otherwise the final is paywalled.

Is DAZN carrying the Europa League in Italy or Spain?

No. DAZN does not list the UEFA club competitions on its Italian or Spanish storefronts. In Spain they are on Movistar Plus+ and in Italy on Sky Italia. DAZN carries them in Canada, and in Portugal it holds part of the package.

Why do Italian viewers need two subscriptions for European football?

Sky Italia holds most of the Champions League, but Prime Video Italia has an exclusive package of 18 Wednesday matches. The Europa and Conference Leagues sit with Sky, so the split only affects a Champions League viewer who wants every match.
