Champions League 2025/26 live streams continue into week five, and what a selection of games we have in store.

At the halfway stage of the league phase, three teams have maintained a 100% record. However, with two of them being Arsenal and Bayern Munich, one of those streaks is bound to end on Wednesday night. Inter Milan are the other side keeping their perfect record, but with a tricky away trip to the Metropolitano to face Atlético Madrid, that could also come to an end.

This season has already delivered plenty of shocks, none more so than Kazakhstan’s Qarabağ. They have managed two wins from their opening four games and held Chelsea last time out, giving hope that they can pick up points on their trip to Napoli.

Elsewhere, Manchester City welcome Bayer Leverkusen, Newcastle face a challenging trip to Marseille, and Liverpool host PSV Eindhoven as they look to put their woeful defeat to Nottingham Forest over the weekend behind them.

Here's where to watch Champions League 2025/26 live streams online from anywhere.
