The UEFA Europa League (UEL) is Europe’s secondary continental club soccer competition. Launched as the UEFA Cup in 1971, it sits in the European football hierarchy beneath the prestigious Champions League and above the Europa Conference League.
Fans in the U.S. can watch every Europa League game on Paramount+. However, ViX and Spanish-language channels like TUDN and UniMás also carry all matches.
In this guide, we’ll profile each key viewing option so you don’t miss the next Europa League game day. We’ll also explore free alternatives if a TV subscription isn’t within your budget.
What channels have Europa League games?
You can catch all UEFA Europa League matches on Paramount+ and access additional coverage through CBS Sports Network.
If you prefer Spanish-language commentary, ViX streams every game. TelevisaUnivision channels like TUDN, UniMás, and Zona Fútbol also air matches and related programming en Español.

Paramount+ offers Europa League fans the ultimate viewing experience. The streaming service includes every match live and on-demand with English-language commentary. While we always prefer watching games live, having on-demand access is crucial since UEL games happen early on weekdays.
Beyond live matches, Paramount+ has a variety of supplementary content. You can watch highlights, player interviews, and special programs like The Golazo Show, UEL Post Match Show, and UEL/UECL Magazine Show.
One downside to Paramount+ is that it lacks premium channels like CBS Sports Network and Paramount Network. But that doesn’t hamper its Europa League coverage. Besides, Paramount+ has countless hours of movies, TV shows, and other live sports to support its budget-friendly subscription plans. It even includes UEFA Champions League and Europa Conference League games.

Comparable to Paramount+, ViX is a streaming service that shows every Europa League game. However, ViX distinguishes itself by offering every game with Spanish-language commentary—making it the ideal platform for those who prefer coverage en Español.
You’ll need the ViX Premium plan to get complete Europa League coverage. It costs $6.99 a month and unlocks additional UEFA competitions, Liga MX games, and the largest on-demand library of Spanish-language content in the U.S.
If you’re not ready to commit to ViX Premium, you can catch occasional Europa League games for free with no sign-up required. Simply head to the ViX Deportes tab and look for games featuring the Gratis banner. No matter what, it’s worth downloading the ViX app for its free content.
Best live TV service: fuboTV

Pros
- Large channel lineup
- Extensive soccer coverage
- Helpful playback features
Cons
- Limited UEL coverage
- Expensive plans with hidden RSN fees

Paramount+ and ViX have a lot to offer outside soccer. But if you’re a sports fan who wants access to traditional networks like ESPN and FS1 on top of Europa League coverage, fuboTV is your next best option.
Starting at $74.99 a month, fuboTV is a live TV streaming service loaded with sports channels. Its commitment to game day comes with excellent features like FanView and MultiView. But it also has a diverse lineup of entertainment, news, and kids networks—making it a well-rounded option for families.
One aspect to note is that fuboTV doesn’t have Europa League games with English-language commentary. (You can thank Paramount+ for that.) Yet, fuboTV subscribers can still catch key matchups through its suite of TUDNxtra channels—including live whip-around coverage via Zona Fútbol.
How to watch the Europa League for free
Unfortunately, there isn’t a legal way to watch every round of the Europa League for free. However, some viewing options offer select games at no cost.
ViX typically features a free Europa League game each match day, while Paramount+ offers a seven-day free trial. Live TV streaming services like fuboTV also have free trial periods—giving you the TUDN channels that broadcast Europa League matches.
