Barcelona have one foot in the Champions League semi-finals as they travel to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, looking to capitalize on a commanding 4-0 aggregate lead.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it’s unavailable where you are.
The Spanish giants produced a dominant display in the first leg last Wednesday at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, with goals from Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and a brace from Robert Lewandowski sealing the emphatic victory.
Dortmund face an uphill battle if they hope to match last year’s impressive campaign, which ended with a runner-up finish. Home advantage may work in their favor, and a spirited 2-2 draw against Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich on Saturday will at least give manager Niko Kovac some encouragement that his side can make a fight of it against a rampant Barça.
Borussia Dortmund host Barcelona on Tuesday, April 15, at the Parc des Princes in Paris. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CEST local time in Germany. That makes it an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada, and a 5 a.m. AEST start in Australia on Wednesday morning.
Robert Lewandowski’s double strike in the first leg has brought the Barcelona striker’s tally to 11 goals so far in this season’s Champions League.

How to watch every UEFA Champions League 2024-25 game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to watch UCL matches while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. They can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

Quick tips for streaming UEFA Champions League matches using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Champions League games may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try to fix quickly. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- Remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
