Disney+ wins rights for Women's Champions League

Disney+ will broadcast the Women's Champions League from next season after securing the rights for five years.

All 75 matches of the 2025-26 campaign will be available on the streaming platform.

There will be a new format to the competition, which starts with an 18-team league before moving into a knockout phase.

"The Uefa Women's Champions League is the very best in football performance, dedication and passion," said Disney+ EMEA general manager Karl Holmes.

Dazn has shown the Women's Champions League for a European audience over the past four seasons, with TNT Sports broadcasting some matches in the UK.

In March Disney+ had a reported 125m subscribers worldwide.

In December Netflix secured the rights for live coverage of the 2027 and 2031 Women's World Cups in the USA.

This season's Champions League concludes on Saturday when Arsenal face Barcelona in the final in Lisbon.
