If you want to watch the Champions League games live on your iPad, there are a few options. In addition to the official license partner Sky, there are also live games via streaming portals. To be able to surf the latter, you have to install a browser that also plays Flash content.

3. After you have chosen one of the channels, enter your Sky customer number and Sky-Pin. The Champions League Stream starts on your iPad.

Champions League live - further information

• From the 2018/19 season there will unfortunately be no more Champions League games on free TV.
• In future, the games will be broadcast on Sky and DAZN.
• At DAZN you will find not only the Champions League but also other interesting sports such as basketball and football.
• Until the 2018/19 season, the Champions League will still be broadcast on free TV on ZDF.

You should stay away from sky streams on streaming portals. These are illegal because the license rights belong to the pay TV broadcaster. The streams of the public broadcaster ZDF, on the other hand, are harmless as shown on the website of the provider.
