How to Watch Real Madrid in the US: TV Channels and Live Streams

Real Madrid supporters in the United States will need different platforms to follow the club across La Liga and the Champions League, with English- and Spanish-language coverage divided among several broadcasters.

Champions League coverage centred on Paramount+

Paramount+ carries every Champions League match live and on demand in English in the United States, covering both the league phase and knockout rounds. The service is therefore the main destination for Real Madrid’s European fixtures.

A selection of the highest-profile matches is also shown on CBS Sports Network, making cable or live-TV streaming access relevant when Madrid are chosen for national television coverage. CBS Sports Network is available through several providers, including Fubo and YouTube TV.

Spanish-language options expand from 2025/26

Real Madrid’s Champions League matches are generally available in Spanish through the TelevisaUnivision group, with TUDN, Univision and UniMás among the channels carrying coverage. ViX also provides a streaming route for a number of fixtures.

From the 2025/26 season, DAZN will become the exclusive Spanish-language streaming outlet for 38 selected Champions League matches each year. The arrangement adds another platform for viewers following Madrid’s European campaign in Spanish.

La Liga broadcasts follow a separate route

For domestic league matches, Real Madrid coverage in the United States is available through ESPN and ESPN Deportes. The distinction matters for supporters tracking Carlo Ancelotti’s side across competitions, as Champions League and La Liga rights sit with different networks and streaming services.

  1. La Liga matches are carried in the United States by ESPN and ESPN Deportes.
  2. Champions League fixtures are streamed in English through Paramount+.
  3. Selected major European ties may be placed on CBS Sports Network.
  4. Spanish-language Champions League coverage is spread across TelevisaUnivision channels and ViX, with DAZN joining for selected matches from 2025/26.
