Paramount+ does one thing for football fans in North America better than any competing platform.
It streams every match of the Champions League and every match of the Europa League live, from the first qualifying round of the season to the final in late May.
No other platform in the region offers complete coverage of either competition, let alone both.
That is the clearest and most important thing to understand about Paramount+ before subscribing.
This guide is an honest assessment of what Paramount+ covers, what falls outside its catalogue, how much it costs relative to what you get, and how to install it on your device.
What Football Does Paramount+ Cover
Paramount+’s football rights are strongest in North America, where it holds exclusive broadcasting agreements for the top UEFA club competitions.
UEFA Club Competitions
- UEFA Champions League (all rounds, every match, North America)
- UEFA Europa League (all rounds, every match, North America)
- UEFA Conference League (select matches, North America)
Domestic and Other Football
- MLS (select matches)
- NWSL (select coverage)
- CONCACAF competitions (select markets)
What Paramount+ Does Not Cover
- Premier League (covered by Peacock and NBC in North America)
- La Liga (covered by ESPN+ and fuboTV in North America)
- Bundesliga (covered by ESPN+ and fuboTV in North America)
- Serie A (covered by Paramount+ for select matches, but primarily ESPN+)
| Competition | Paramount+ Coverage |
|---|---|
| Champions League | Full tournament |
| Europa League | Full tournament |
| Conference League | Select matches |
| MLS | Select matches |
| Premier League | Not available |
| La Liga | Not available |
The honest picture is that Paramount+ is the essential subscription for UEFA club football in North America and a gap for fans who primarily follow the major European domestic leagues.
For fans who follow both, Paramount+ combined with ESPN+ or fuboTV covers the complete European football calendar in North America.
Key Features of the Paramount+ App
Complete UEFA club football in North America
Every match of the Champions League and Europa League is available live on Paramount+, including qualifying rounds that begin in July.
No fixture in either competition is restricted to a different platform, making it the only place where you can follow both competitions completely from the opening round to the final.
CBS Sports integration
CBS Sports, which is free, functions as the companion app for Paramount+ football coverage.
Live scores, match previews, and post-match highlights for every Champions League and Europa League game are available on CBS Sports without any additional cost.
The two apps together provide a complete UEFA football experience across live streaming, scores, and analysis.
Reliable streaming during peak viewership
Paramount+ handles the high concurrent demand of Champions League knockout nights and finals reliably.
Stream quality is consistent during the most-watched fixtures of the European football calendar, which is the performance test that matters most for a competition this size.
Replay access for every match
Every match broadcast on Paramount+ goes into the on-demand library after the live stream ends.
Replays are accessible for an extended period after each game, covering the full season archive for both UEFA competitions.
Multi-device support
Paramount+ works on iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, Xbox, and most modern smart TV platforms.

Is Paramount+ Worth It
For UEFA club football in North America, yes, without question.
No alternative exists for complete Champions League coverage in the region.
No alternative exists for complete Europa League coverage in the region.
The subscription cost divided across the number of live matches available across a full season results in a cost-per-match figure that is among the lowest of any sports streaming platform available in North America.
The limitation is equally clear: if you primarily follow Premier League, La Liga, or Bundesliga rather than UEFA club competitions, Paramount+ is not the right main subscription and ESPN+ or fuboTV should be the starting point instead.
For fans who follow both UEFA club football and the major European leagues, Paramount+ combined with one of those platforms covers the complete European football calendar in North America at a combined monthly cost that is still lower than most traditional cable sports packages.
