Every football fan wants to watch the UCL live. With the group stage of the UEFA Champions League set to begin, the excitement is palpable.
The UEFA Champions League has gained fame as perhaps the greatest club football competition in the world.
The 2023/24 edition sees Manchester City looking to successfully defend the title they won for the first time last season.
The UEFA Champions League has eight groups of 32 teams vying for the topmost honour in European club football.
South Africans have no Bafana Bafana player in any of the clubs in the competition, but it does not reduce their interest in it.
Fans from the tail end of the continent will want to watch the UCL live.
So, where can you watch the UCL live in South Africa?
