How to watch Champions League draw for FREE: TV channel and live stream for knockout phase play-off today

Arsenal and Bayern Munich were already guaranteed a spot in the last-16 ahead of Wednesday night’s dramatic final round of league phase action, while four clubs at the other end of the table knew they were eliminated.

That meant the race was on for the other 30 teams to either secure a place in the top eight, and therefore go straight through to the last-16, or finish in the top 24 and with it take a spot in the knockout phase play-offs.

Real Madrid finished ninth – a point behind Manchester City – after failing to score a late equaliser against Benfica who, themselves, scored in the final seconds through Anatoliy Trubin to stay alive in the competition.

Interestingly, the two sides could meet again in the play-offs while Bodo/Glimt are Real Madrid’s other potential opponent.

Meanwhile, PSG will face either Qarabag or Ligue 1 rivals Monaco after missing out on a top-eight finish in successive seasons.

Newcastle are the sole Premier League representatives at this stage and have been paired with PSG which means they have the same potential two opponents.

TV channel: TNT Sports 1 will broadcast live coverage of the draw in the UK, beginning at 11am GMT.

Live stream: The draw will be streamed live on the UEFA.com website, as well as on TNT Sports’ YouTube channel and via the Discovery+ app and website.
