It used to be free on ITV, then it was free on BT Sport's YouTube channel, now I read we are expected to sign up to an account with Discovery+ to watch it without charge. I won't bother. How poor of UEFA to allow this huge match to be so hard to get for people not paying TNT £30.99. These days I just ignore European club football. |  | | |  |

It's really not a rubbish match at all. Dortmund really have Madrid's number but they'll do well to keep it up. Been quite a few chances, a bit more quality from Adeyemi and Dortmund would be cruising. |
Interesting game but quality in the final 3rd has been awful for a champions league final. |  |

Calm down.
I don't think you have to pay to watch it. Just need to create an account on discovery+I thought I read?

Also I'm not sure why people think this should be free for everyone. Unfortunately uefa is only.interested in the money, like a lot of top end football.
They don't have to show it free, just BTSports and now these new people are. [Post edited 1 Jun 2024 8:48]

Bootlicking. All the champions league was free to watch and it was stolen from us like so many other sports. |  |

Making a hash of a 1 on 1 chance with the keeper was shocking. |  |

The game is pretty rubbish to be honest. If you are not watching it, you are not missing anything. |
From what I’ve seen it’s been excellent |  |

Agreed. Madrid have to bring on a centre forward, it'll be Joselu I guess. Limited player but just about their only player who can get on the end of crosses. |  | | |

That’s harsh, but if you don’t take your chances when you’re on top. A bit of salt in the wound as well considering Vinícius Júnior shouldn’t still be on the pitch. | |

Tbf it doesn't work on smart TV, only works on phone.
Feels like a bit of a scam. |
Using firestick, I uploaded it directly onto my smart TV.
Took 45 mins tho - slow to install, then kept getting error message for email or pw which it was imposs to back-track on, no keyboard, & & all my details had characters at all 4 corners of the selection box! Seems it didn't like my email address, maybe I'd used it before.
Need a reminder to cancel it in 2.5 months' time, just in case❗️
After all that, only watched first few minutes of the game - found it visually disturbing, looked like Leeds v scum 😱 [Post edited 2 Jun 2024 1:55]

I think there may have been an agreement when BT/TNT took over the contract from ITV/Sky that the final would be shown for free. I know it is free on Discovery if we give our personal details on their website, and for those know how to do that (which many elderly people won't). I just believe major finals should be free for everyone to switch on their TVs and watch. If Ipswich get there one day I would like everyone to see it.
TNT is £30.99 a month according to their website. It may be cheaper alongside other subscriptions on other platforms. I expect Ipswich will be on there a few times next season. |
I wasn't really that bothered about watching it but inbetween the bloody disturbing viewing of Insomnia and the new weird Rebus I thought I would flick it on.
..........only to see that I have to sign up to Discovery +
Now then now then, it may be free to join up but I can't be arsed and I haven't got the time.
So then. Up yours UEFA!! |  |

The Ofcom list is old hat now really, including the Derby & Grand National (nobody watches the Derby apart from racing fans & I guess the bookies want to keep the National on terrestrial TV so that the once a year punters still have their flutter), the men's & women's singles finals at Wimbledon, the FA Cup Final (trying to pretend it's still a national event), the Rugby League Challenge Cup final (really?) .
For me, the only ones that should remain protected are the World Cup & Euros finals (national teams involved) plus the Olympics. |  |

I disagree, as reducing the list only takes sports away from people who cannot afford subscription TV (while a footballer gets a £128m signing on fee). We should show more top sport on free-to-air TV, including the Champions' League final. | | | |

Agree, it's a vicious spiral - the less exposure some sports get, the less popular they become. England Test matches, particularly the Ashes home and away, need to be on the list. | |

Bit churlish to complain about something that’s free.
And any match is free if you’re prepared to look for a download. |  |

The Ashes in Australia are usually played between midnight & 6am UK time. Hardly anyone wants to watch that live. But yes, agreeing a highlights programme on terrestrial TV would be a good move for cricket. | |
