UEFA has set the dates and 20:00 BST kick-off times for all 2025/26 Champions League quarter-final ties, as eight teams advance toward the Budapest final. Matchups feature Liverpool against holders Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal versus Sporting CP, Barcelona facing Atletico Madrid, and Bayern Munich taking on Real Madrid. Liverpool aim for revenge after last season's penalty shootout loss to PSG.
The quarter-finals follow a round-of-16 stage that saw 23 goals in the second legs. Liverpool seek payback against PSG, while Arsenal meet Sporting CP, who staged a comeback against Bodo/Glimt. La Liga rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid clash, and Bayern Munich face record 15-time winners Real Madrid in another heavyweight tie. PSG advanced past Chelsea, and Liverpool sealed their progress with a 4-0 home win over Galatasaray. All matches start at 20:00 BST. Fans in the UK can watch on TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video, with Amazon selecting Tuesday games and TNT covering the rest. BBC Sport provides highlights, and streams are available via dedicated apps like Discovery Plus, Prime Video, and BBC iPlayer. Semi-final paths pit the PSG-Liverpool winner against the Bayern-Real Madrid victor, while the Barcelona-Atletico survivor meets the Arsenal-Sporting winner. Bookmakers list Arsenal as slight favorites ahead of Bayern, with Barcelona, PSG, Liverpool, and Real Madrid close behind; Atletico are dark horses and Sporting outsiders. The tournament concludes with the final on May 30, 2026, at Budapest's Puskas Arena, home to Hungary's national team and site of the 2022/23 Europa League final.
