Two of the biggest names in soccer go head-to-head for the UEFA Champions League Final, with the newly crowned Premier League champions Arsenal facing Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain. PSG is looking for a repeat after cruising to victory over Inter Milan last year. Arsenal would be looking for its first Champions League trophy, having lost its only finals appearance in 2006.

The Champions League final is one of the last major tournaments before the World Cup, following the Europa League and Europa Conference League finals. The match will be held at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, and starts at 12:00 p.m. ET.
The Killers will headline the kick-off show with what’s sure to be a hit-heavy set. “We said yes without hesitation,” said the Killers in a statement when the announcement was made in March, adding, “Some stages speak for themselves.” Previous acts have included Linkin Park, Lenny Kravitz, and Dua Lipa, and performances take place prior to kick-off, rather than during halftime.
As for the match, PSG are the favorites heading into the final, and are looking to become only the second back-to-back champions ever and the first since Real Madrid’s 2016-2018 threepeat. They’ll have to contend with Arsenal’s stellar defense; Arsenal only conceded 27 goals during the entire Premier League season.
If you’re looking to stream the game live (we can think of one fan who will undoubtedly be watching), it will air on CBS in the U.S. and stream on Paramount+. Here’s what to know about catching the Champions League final live.
CBS, which is airing the Arsenal-PSG match, is available on DirecTV. The live-TV streamer includes a five-day free trial across its tiers. Sports fans can also get channels like ESPN in DirecTV’s various packages.
Paramount+ will carry the game for Premium subscribers. Plans start at $13.99/mo, although it does not offer the option of a free trial. Paramount+ is the streaming home of the UEFA Champions League in the U.S., as well as Italy’s Serie A and the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
Fubo, which is available with a one-day free trial, includes CBS in its Sports + News package. The streaming service also includes access to other sports with channels like ESPN, FS1, and others.
The UEFA Champions League kicks off at 12:00 p.m. ET (6:00 p.m. local time) between PSG and Arsenal on Saturday, May 30, and will be held at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest. The Killers will headline the kickoff show.
