Liverpool vs Villarreal: TV channel, live stream, kick-off

Liverpool are back at Anfield for their third Champions League match of the season, following last week's trip to Austria. The Reds have already beaten Atletico Madrid and LASK and can make it three wins from three when their meeting with Villarreal kicks off at 8pm on Tuesday, October 20.

Match details and UK broadcast

The raucous Anfield crowd will look to cheer Andoni Iraola's side on to a third straight win, though victory for the visitors would be enough for them to join Liverpool on six points.

Amazon Prime Video has chosen this match as their one live Champions League tie this week, with fans able to stream the game at the link below. This means Prime, rather than TNT Sports, will offer coverage of Liverpool vs Villarreal. Pre-match coverage begins from 6.30pm, with Gabby Logan presenting and former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez and former players Daniel Sturridge and Robbie Fowler providing build-up and analysis.

Free live stream and international options

Any fans who already have an Amazon Prime subscription will be able to watch live as part of that deal, whether on their smart TV, streaming stick, laptop, phone, tablet or other means. If you're not already a subscriber, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial at the link below - just remember to cancel before the end of the trial period if you don't want to pay for it afterwards.

Gone are the days when it was tough for fans to watch European soccer action from across the Atlantic. The Paramount+ platform and ViX Premium are your options in the United States, while other international broadcasts include Stan Sports in Australia and Premier Sports 1 in Ireland. Liverpool fans located all around the world will be able to find a live TV provider, with different studio analysis teams depending on where you're watching the action.

Radio coverage and team news

If you can't get in front of a screen this evening, you can still follow Liverpool vs Villarreal on the radio. BBC Radio 5 Live will have an Around the Grounds broadcast during tonight's action, with six other Champions League games on at the same time as Liverpool's game, while you can listen to build-up and live commentary via LFCTV - the Reds' in-house platform - with coverage starting from 6.45pm.

Liverpool beat Villarreal on aggregate over two legs in both of their previous encounters - the 2015/16 Europa League semi-finals and the same stage of the Champions League in 2021/22. If they're to land another victory, they'll have to do it without the newly injured duo of Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong, while the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley are still some way from returning.

Nicolas Pepe is unlikely to feature for Villarreal after an eye injury but Tajon Buchanan has returned to training following hamstring troubles and could be in contention to play some part.
