If you want to watch the Champions League in the UK this season, you have only one broadcaster option: it's all on BT Sport.

But such is the modern world, it's not as simple as flicking over to the BT Sport channel on your TV to catch the action. 

BT TV with BT Sport

This is a TV contract that will give you access to all BT Sport channels, meaning you'll be able to watch the all of the Champions League and Europa League, as well as selected  Premier League, FA Cup, Women's Super League and Bundesliga games.

Contract: 24 months

Monthly cost: £10

One-off installation cost: £29.99

BT Sport online pass

This is an online-only pass that allows you to watch on a laptop, PC, tablet or mobile. As well as Premier League coverage, BT Sport also has Champions League, Europa League, the FA Cup, Women's Super League and Bundesliga.

You can link your laptop up to your TV with the help of an HDMI cable, but it's a bit of a faff and won't always deliver the best results.

Contract: No

BT Sport monthly pass: £25

NowTV stick with BT Sport online pass

A NowTV stick enables you to watch the football on your television without a contract.
