CBS to air both Champions League semifinals on national TV

Next week’s UEFA Champions League semifinals will both be available on national TV via the CBS over-the-air channel. On Tuesday, April 30, Bayern Munich plays Real Madrid in the more-anticipated of the two last-four matchups. Then, on May 1, Borussia Dortmund hosts PSG at the Westfalenstadion. Both games are available via the CBS TV channel, making it widely available for American audiences even if viewers do not have Paramount+.

It is worth noting that the second legs of the games have different TV coverage. On Tuesday, May 7, the return leg in Paris between PSG and Borussia Dortmund is streaming exclusively on Paramount+. That said, the game at the Santiago Bernabeu between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich on May 8 is also available on the CBS TV channel. Pregame coverage for the games available on CBS is on the same channel. Likewise, the game on Paramount+ on Tuesday, May 7, has pregame coverage there.

Of course, if you already subscribe to Paramount+ to watch the UEFA Champions League, Serie A or any of its other soccer content, each of the four games in the semifinal stage is available on the platform. Games on the CBS OTA channel are simulcast on Paramount+. That also applies to pregame and postgame coverage, which is fully available on the streaming service.

Includes: Champions League, Europa League, Serie A, NWSL, Argentine Primera, Brasileirão, Scottish Premiership, Women’s Super League, & More
