The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League phase draw takes place today, Thursday, August 27, with free viewing options available for fans without a paid TV package.
Free streaming options
Viewers can watch the draw at no cost on TNT Sports' YouTube channel. UEFA also provides a complimentary broadcast through its own digital platforms, meaning the event is viewable on UEFA.com and the official UEFA Champions League mobile app.
Date, time and venue
The procedure to outline the upcoming fixtures begins at 5pm UK time, which equates to 6pm CET at the venue. The Grimaldi Forum in Monaco will serve as the host site. UEFA routinely selects this convention centre for its regular draws and administrative meetings. Deputy secretary general Giorgio Marchetti, along with other UEFA staff, will oversee the mechanics of the draw on stage.
TV and app coverage
UK audiences can find standard television coverage of the event on TNT Sports 1, with the network's broadcast beginning at 5pm to match the start of the proceedings. Users watching on mobile devices or smart TVs can also stream the broadcast via HBO Max, based on their existing plans. Accessing this feed requires an active, paid premium subscription tied to TNT Sports.
The Champions League will kick off in early September.
