Champions League Final 2020 dropped from US network TV
The
Champions League quarterfinals and elimination rounds will vanish from U.S. network
and cable English-language television this summer. This is due to the new
contract between UEFA and CBS, and the remainder of the 2019-20 competition
will be primarily streamed.
CBS took
over rights from TBS during the coronavirus pandemic break. CBS said Wednesday
the only matches it plans to televise are the round of 16-second legs of
Manchester City-Real Madrid on Aug. 8. Champions League fans can book Champions League Final Tickets on our
website on exclusively discounted prices.

CBS also plans to televise and Barcelona-Napoli the following day, plus the final on Aug. 23. They will be on the CBS Sports Network link channel. Every single other game will be accessible online at CBS All Access. The competition was ended by the pandemic in March.
UEFA arrived
at a U.S. rights concurrence with CBS through the 2023-24 season. As a
component of the understanding, CBS quickly took over rights from TBS, which
had been scheduled to go through the 2020-21 season.
CBS said the decisions on the remainder of this year´s tournament were "due to the short turnaround and with the CBS television network already having previous commitments at the same time of the tournament final."

Due to the
pandemic, the quarterfinals and elimination rounds were changed from two legs
to one-coordinate knockouts. All games from the quarterfinals will be in
Lisbon, Portugal. The remainder of the Europa League, UEFA´s No2 club
competition, will be completely spilled.
CBS All
Access is offering a one-month free preliminary, permitting U.S. watchers to
watch matches at no expense. Starting with the 2020-21 season, CBS said select
matches will be on the main CBS network, including every Champions League
final.
