Major broadcasting change as Champions League final free stream moved from YouTube for Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
SATURDAY’S Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will NOT be shown on YouTube… but will still be free for British football fans.
TNT Sports, formerly BT Sport, have shown every final since 2016 free of charge on YouTube.

This will not be the case this season due to TNT’s merger with discovery+ and Eurosport.
However, there is still a way UK viewers can watch the match without paying a penny.
That is because coverage of the game will be available on discovery+, a platform where fans can create a free account for access to the final.
The change has been made in an attempt to get more people to eventually pay for both discovery+ and Eurosport.
Real Madrid are seeking a record-extending 15th European triumph this weekend.
It would also be an incredible sixth Champions League in 10 years and add to the LaLiga title they claimed earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Dortmund have overcome the odds to reach the final having beaten Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain on their way to Wembley.
English interest in the match comes in the form of Real star Bellingham, 20, and Dortmund loanee Jadon Sancho, 24.

He said: “Many thanks for your support and the love shown this season.
“We’ve got one more big game at Wembley. We’re going to win. Come on Madrid.”
