You’ll be able to watch the Champions League and Europa League finals for free online

The two biggest games in the European football calendar will be streamed live on YouTube for the first time this year.

BT Sport has agreed a deal with the streaming service to broadcast the Europa League final between Liverpool and Sevilla on May 18, and the all-Madrid Champions League final 10 days later. Both games will also be broadcast on the free-to-air BT Sport Showcase channel, for those watching on television. This year is the first in which BT Sport has held the rights to Champions League football, and the company has also pledged to provide build-up to both matches across a variety of platforms including YouTube, Facebook and Snapchat. The move to YouTube will help bolster viewing figures on the free-to-air channel, which have been lower on average than those enjoyed by ITV in 2014/15. The move to bring both finals to YouTube has received a broadly positive response from fans, many of whom might not have access to a TV set for the games. https://twitter.com/ThatChris1209/status/730700039606153216 https://twitter.com/chrisovglyn12/status/730705162965241856 https://twitter.com/SuperCFC/status/730704784227962880
