Champions League 2025/26 live streams continue into week six, and what a selection of games we have in store.
After five games, it is Arsenal who lead the way with a perfect 100% record, having defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 last time out. Behind them sit four sides on 12 points, including PSG and Real Madrid, both of whom will be strong favourites to push deep into the latter stages of the tournament.
But it hasn’t all been plain sailing for the traditional giants. Barcelona have managed just seven points from their fixtures so far, while both Liverpool and Tottenham continue to struggle to find their rhythm. Meanwhile, the competition has already produced some standout stories: Qarabağ and Pafos both occupy top-24 positions despite being labelled as minnows who would be brushed aside.
Here's where to watch Champions League 2025/26 live streams online from anywhere.
