The UEFA Champions League invites you to the 2nd matchday. Borussia Dortmund welcomes Celtic Glasgow. So you can watch the game live on TV and live stream.
Football fans will also need two subscriptions for the Champions League this season. Amazon Prime Video shows a game every Tuesday. All other games will be broadcast by the paid streaming provider Dazn. Due to the new league structure of the tournament, things can quickly become confusing. Here you can see at a glance where you can watch the games:
