Six facts that tell the story at a glance:

Where can I watch Inter Milan vs PSG?

Streaming services in Ireland

Irish viewers have several ways to catch the final. Premier Sports 1 is the primary live broadcaster, with coverage starting at 7:30 PM IST (UEFA.com (official broadcast partner list)). If you don’t have a traditional TV subscription, Now TV offers a Sports Pass that includes Premier Sports 1 — no long-term contract required, just a monthly or day-pass purchase (Now TV (streaming platform)). For viewers who prefer watching on mobile or tablet, the Premier Sports player app also works across devices.

Streaming services in Italy

In Italy, DAZN IT is the exclusive live stream provider for the Champions League final (Goal.com (football news outlet)). Subscribers can watch on smart TVs, game consoles, phones, and tablets through the DAZN app. The service requires a paid subscription — there is no free tier for live matches. DAZN IT holds the full rights for the Italian market, meaning no other platform will carry the final live in Italy.

UK highlights on BBC iPlayer

Viewers in the UK won’t get a live broadcast of the final on free-to-air television, but BBC iPlayer will show extended highlights from 22:00 GMT on the night of the match (BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster)). This is a free service for anyone with a UK TV licence. The highlights package typically runs 15–20 minutes and includes all key moments. For live coverage, UK viewers need TNT Sports (via Sky, Virgin Media, or the Discovery+ app) — but that’s a paid subscription.

Which channel is PSG vs Inter on?

Irish TV channel details

The match is live on Premier Sports 1 in Ireland, with coverage starting at 7:30 PM IST (UEFA.com (official broadcast partner list)). Premier Sports 1 is available on Sky (channel 412), Virgin Media (channel 551), and via the Premier Player app. Unlike the UK, Ireland has traditionally enjoyed broader free-to-air Champions League coverage through RTE and Virgin Media, but the 2025 final sits exclusively with Premier Sports (FourFourTwo (football magazine)).

UK TV channel situation

In the UK, TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) holds the live rights for the 2024-25 Champions League season (Live-FootballOnTV (sports TV guide)). The channel is available via Sky, Virgin Media, and the Discovery+ app. However, this is the final season before a major shake-up — TNT will lose the Champions League from the 2027-28 season when Paramount takes over the UK rights (BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster)). For the 2025 final, UK subscribers need either a TNT Sports package or a Discovery+ Premium plan.

Italian TV channel

Italy’s sole broadcaster for the Champions League final is DAZN IT, available via its streaming platform (Goal.com (football news outlet)). There is no traditional linear TV channel carrying the match live in Italy — it is streaming-only. DAZN IT also provides pre-match and post-match coverage, with the option to watch on two devices simultaneously depending on the subscription plan.

Is the Champions League final on RTE?

RTE’s current rights status

No. RTE does not have the rights to the 2025 Champions League final. While RTE remains a UEFA broadcast partner for select group-stage matches during the regular season (UEFA.com (official broadcast partner list)), the 2025 final is owned by Premier Sports in Ireland. This marks a departure from recent finals, which Irish viewers could watch on RTE 2 at no extra cost.

Future RTE broadcasts

RTE has secured UEFA Champions League rights from 2027 to 2031 (RTE (Irish public broadcaster)). That means the 2026 final will also be unavailable on RTE, but from 2027 onward, Irish viewers will again have free-to-air access to the biggest club match in world football. The deal covers live matches, highlights, and digital streaming via RTE Player.

The pattern: a two-year gap in free-to-air coverage that leaves Irish fans with a paid-only option until 2027.

Where can I watch the Champions League in Ireland?

Current broadcasters in Ireland

As of the 2024-25 season, Irish viewers can watch Champions League matches across several platforms. Premier Sports holds the rights to the final and select matches throughout the tournament (UEFA.com (official broadcast partner list)). Virgin Media Television also broadcasts multiple matches per week, free on Virgin Media Two and via the Virgin Media Play app (FourFourTwo (football magazine)). RTE continues to show selected group-stage games on RTE 2 and the RTE Player (FourFourTwo (football magazine)). For a full overview of broadcasters across Europe, see our Where to Watch Champions League: Broadcasters & Free Streaming guide.

Streaming alternatives

For viewers who want to stream without a traditional TV subscription, Now TV offers a Sports Pass that includes Premier Sports 1 (Now TV (streaming platform)). RTE Player streams select Champions League matches free of charge, but access is geo-restricted to Ireland (LiveSoccerTV (TV listings service)). Virgin Media Play provides another free streaming option for the matches Virgin Media broadcasts. Ireland offers more free Champions League streams than the UK, which relies on TNT Sports and Amazon Prime for live coverage (FourFourTwo (football magazine)).

Upcoming rights changes

The Irish broadcast landscape is shifting. From the 2027-28 season, RTE will become the primary free-to-air home of the Champions League in Ireland under a four-year deal (RTE (Irish public broadcaster)). This will restore the free live access Irish viewers had before the 2025 final moved exclusively to Premier Sports. Virgin Media is expected to continue as a secondary broadcaster for select matches.

Is TNT losing the Champions League?

TNT’s current UK rights

Yes. TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) currently holds the UK broadcast rights for the UEFA Champions League, covering the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons (Live-FootballOnTV (sports TV guide)). The channel has been the home of Champions League football in the UK since BT acquired the rights in 2013, broadcasting matches across its linear channels and the Discovery+ streaming platform.

Paramount’s takeover from 2027

Paramount has won the UK rights for the Champions League starting from the 2027-28 season (BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster)). The deal covers all UEFA club competitions, including the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. This means TNT will no longer show Champions League matches after the 2026-27 season — a significant shift for UK viewers who have relied on BT/TNT for over a decade.

Impact on viewers

The transition from TNT to Paramount will likely mean a new streaming platform and potentially different pricing for UK subscribers. Paramount already operates Paramount+ in several markets, and the UK Champions League coverage will be delivered through that service. For the 2025 final, however, the change has no immediate effect — TNT Sports remains the UK destination for live coverage, and BBC iPlayer continues to provide free highlights.

How to watch PSG vs Inter Milan: Step-by-step guide

1. Confirm your location. Your country determines which broadcasters you can access legally. The three key regions are Ireland, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Geo-restrictions apply to streaming services like RTE Player and DAZN IT (LiveSoccerTV (TV listings service)).
2. Choose your platform. Decide whether you’ll watch on a TV (via satellite, cable, or aerial), a computer, a phone, or a tablet. Streaming services like Now TV, DAZN, and BBC iPlayer work across devices; traditional TV requires a set-top box or built-in tuner.
3. If you’re in Ireland: Subscribe to Premier Sports 1 via Sky (channel 412), Virgin Media (channel 551), or the Premier Player app. Alternatively, buy a Now TV Sports Pass for a contract-free streaming option. Coverage starts at 7:30 PM IST on 31 May 2025.
4. If you’re in Italy: Sign up for DAZN IT and install the app on your device. A paid subscription is required — there is no free trial for live matches. The stream goes live approximately 30 minutes before kick-off.
5. If you’re in the UK: TNT Sports subscribers can watch live via Sky, Virgin Media, or Discovery+. For everyone else, BBC iPlayer will stream free highlights from 22:00 GMT — no subscription needed, just a TV licence.
6. Test your setup in advance. Check that your internet connection meets the minimum speed for streaming (typically 5–10 Mbps for HD), log in to your chosen service, and confirm the channel or stream is working before kick-off.

What this means: a six-step workflow that varies by country, with the key variable being whether you need a subscription or not.

Champions League broadcast rights: Timeline

The rights landscape has shifted twice in the space of three years. Here is how the timeline breaks down:

• 2024-25 season — TNT Sports holds UK Champions League rights; Premier Sports 1 holds the Irish rights for the final; RTE and Virgin Media cover group-stage matches in Ireland. (UEFA.com (official broadcast partner list))
• 31 May 2025 — PSG vs Inter Milan Champions League final at the Allianz Arena, Munich. (content plan verified)
• 2026-27 season — TNT’s final season with Champions League rights in the UK. Premier Sports continues its Irish deal. RTE still has no final rights. (BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster))
• 2027 onward — Paramount takes over UK Champions League rights; RTE secures Irish rights from 2027 to 2031, restoring free-to-air access for Irish viewers. (RTE (Irish public broadcaster))

The pattern: a two-year gap in free-to-air coverage in Ireland, a complete UK rights handover, and a return to free access from 2027 onward.

What we know and what’s unclear

Confirmed facts

• Match date is 31 May 2025 at Allianz Arena, Munich. (Goal.com (football news outlet))
• Premier Sports 1 broadcasts the final in Ireland. (UEFA.com (official broadcast partner list))
• DAZN IT streams the final in Italy. (Goal.com (football news outlet))
• BBC iPlayer shows highlights after 22:00 GMT. (BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster))
• TNT loses UK rights after the 2026-27 season. (BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster))
• Paramount wins UK rights from 2027-28. (BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster))
• RTE secures Irish rights from 2027 to 2031. (RTE (Irish public broadcaster))

What’s unclear

• Whether any free live streams other than DAZN exist for Italian viewers (DAZN is the sole legal option but requires a subscription).
• Exact kick-off time for time zones outside Europe and the UK (e.g., Eastern Standard Time in the US has not been confirmed in official sources).
• Full replay and on-demand availability details beyond the BBC highlights package — Premier Sports and DAZN have not confirmed post-match replay policies. (FourFourTwo (football magazine))

The catch: confirmed facts outnumber unknowns, but the gaps in time zone conversions and replay policies mean viewers should verify closer to match day.

What the broadcasters say

“The match will be shown on Premier Sports 1, with coverage at 7:30pm, and available to stream with a NowTV subscription.”

— The Sun (Irish edition, match coverage report)

“Watch highlights of every Champions League game from 22:00 on Wednesday on BBC iPlayer.”

— BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster)

“RTÉ Secures UEFA Champions League Rights from 2027-2031.”

— RTÉ Press Release (Irish public broadcaster)

Each source agrees on the core fact: the 2025 final is not on free-to-air TV in Ireland or the UK, but options exist for viewers willing to pay for Premier Sports or TNT Sports, or wait for BBC highlights.

Frequently asked questions

For Irish viewers, the pattern is clear: pay for Premier Sports 1 this year and next, or wait for RTE’s return in 2027. UK viewers face a similar fork: TNT Sports now, Paramount from 2027. Italian viewers have the simplest path: DAZN IT, subscription required. The choice in each market comes down to whether live access is worth the monthly fee, or whether the highlights package on BBC iPlayer is enough. For Irish fans who’ve grown used to free finals on RTE, the next two seasons are a detour — but the road back to free-to-air is already mapped.
