AEK Athens v LASK: How to watch the UEFA Champions League match live and online

AEK Athens and LASK begin their UEFA Champions League league phase campaigns on Tuesday, 8 September 2026, with supporters in different territories able to follow the match through a range of official broadcasters and streaming services.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 18:45 local time in Athens, which is 16:45 GMT. Coverage arrangements differ between countries because UEFA’s broadcast rights are allocated on a territorial basis, meaning the channel or digital platform showing the fixture in one market may not be available in another.

In sub-Saharan Africa, the UEFA Champions League is distributed by several official partners, including CANAL+, SuperSport and New World TV. The availability of AEK Athens v LASK will depend on the country in which viewers are located and the television package to which they subscribe.

UEFA lists those three companies as official competition broadcast partners in the region. Viewers are therefore advised to check the schedules of the relevant broadcaster before kick-off, as individual bouquets may carry different fixtures and coverage options.

In a number of English-speaking countries, including South Africa and Nigeria, SuperSport holds the relevant broadcasting arrangements for the competition. The sports network also provides digital coverage of UEFA Champions League matches through its online platforms, subject to the rights available in each market.

Coverage in Greece, Austria and France

Because the match is being played in Greece, domestic viewers can watch UEFA Champions League coverage through Cosmote TV and AlterEgo, which hold the competition rights in the country.

In Austria, where LASK are based, the fixture is listed for broadcast by Sky Austria. Sky is a broadcaster of the UEFA Champions League in the country, giving Austrian subscribers an option to follow the match through the services included in their package.

For viewers in France, AEK Athens v LASK is scheduled to be shown on Canal+ Sport. The match is also available to stream through myCANAL, in line with the programme listings published for the opening round of the league phase.

Subscribers to the relevant services may be able to watch online through CANAL+, SuperSport or Sky platforms, depending on their location and the terms of their subscription. Access to a live stream is not automatically transferable between countries because UEFA’s rights agreements are market-specific.

The organisation recommends that supporters consult its list of official broadcast partners to identify the authorised outlet for their territory. That is particularly important for viewers travelling abroad or using a subscription registered in a different country.

If no accessible television or streaming broadcast is available, the official UEFA website will provide live match events and statistics. Those updates will allow supporters to follow the key moments and data from the fixture even where live video coverage cannot be accessed.
