Business no-brainer for BT. Will probably add 4 million viewers viz their usual viewing figures so they can charge advertising at a huge Premium.

I thought it was part of their deal with UEFA that the final is always free-to-air, as well as a number of other games throughout the competition. Obviously, they usually show games nobody cares about on the FTA.

Still not available to people without computers, tablets etc. should be on the showcase channel as were the early rounds.

Would be more comfortable viewing on the freeview BT channel.

Yes, that’s an option. I have a smart TV so will use YouTube.

Do BT broadcast on YouTube? If so I may well do that via Chromecast or Firestick.

According to the article above.

“...but those without a subscription can see the match live online via BTSport.com or the BT Sport app, as well as on YouTube for free.”

Some further good news Mal, you can currently watch the women's Champions League final on the BBC via your red button or on the BBC Sport website. I know how much you love ladies football.
