Atalanta vs Leverkusen live stream: Can you watch for free?

Atalanta and Leverkusen meet in the 2024 Europa League final today, and we've found several different ways you can watch a free live stream in the U.S.

Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen look to continue their magical season when they take on Italian side Atalanta in the Europa League final in Dublin today. Interestingly enough, both clubs also made their country’s cup final this year, with Atalanta coming up short against Juventus in the Coppa Italia, and Leverkusen set to take on FCK in the DFB-Pokal over the weekend.

This massive final is just about to start, at 3:00 p.m. ET, so pick a streaming option from below quickly. It will be televised on CBS Sports Network in the United States. Fortunately, though, we’ve also found a number of different ways you can watch a free live stream of Atalanta vs Leverkusen.

First and foremost, the easiest way to watch a live stream of Atalanta vs Leverkusen is on Paramount+, which will also include the Champions League final between Dortmund and Real Madrid on Saturday, June 1. All you need for both games is the “Essential” tier, which costs $6 per month but also comes with a seven-day free trial.

If you’ve already used Paramount+ before, you can also get a free seven-day trial of the Paramount+ Amazon Prime Channel. You need to be a Prime subscriber for this option, but it also comes with a free trial (30 days), and you can sign up for both at the same time. This includes all the same live and on-demand content as Paramount+, with the only difference being you’ll watch on the Prime digital platforms rather than Paramount’s.

Finally, you can also watch a live stream of the match on any OTT live-TV streaming service that includes CBS Sports Network. There are three of them that also come with a free trial: Fubo (“Pro” channel plan), YouTube TV (“Base Plan”) and DirecTV Stream (“Ultimate” channel plan and above). 

All together, that’s five different ways you can watch a live stream of Atalanta vs Leverkusen today for free.

If you happen to be outside of the United States during the time of the match, you’ll need to use a virtual private network (VPN) in order to access in any of those aforementioned streaming services. They’re all US-only, but VPN’s can get around those location-restrictions by hiding your location and connecting you to a digital server in the United States.

We’ve put together a list of the 18 best VPN services, but if you want to just know which one’s at the top, it’s NordVPN. Easily one of the safest, fastest and most reliable services on the market, NordVPN is currently on sale but also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you just want to try it out for the short-term.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.

What is AV2, and why should viewers care?

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
