Inter Milan carry a 1-0 aggregate lead into Estadio Metropolitano today, as the Serie A leaders take on Atletico Madrid for a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals. Inter have won 13 straight matches across all competition, while Atletico are stuck in poor form, but as we’ve seen so many times before, nothing should be taken for granted in this competition.
The match kicks off momentarily, at 4:00 p.m. ET, and it will be broadcast on Paramount+ in the United States. There are also several ways you can watch a live stream for free, so let’s take a look at everything you need to know. Pick one soon — the match is about to start!
When it comes to anything Champions League related, the best answer is almost always going to be Paramount+ if you live in the United States. With a subscription to Paramount+, you will get every Champions League game (available in both English and Spanish), as well as all Europa League games, other live sports (including in-market NFL on CBS games come September) and a huge library of TV shows and movies.
The cost of $6 per month ($12 if you want the shows and movies with no ads) would be reasonable for the Champions League content alone. With everything else, it’s incredible value. And it comes with a seven-day free trial if you just want to watch Atletico Madrid vs Inter for no cost.
Fortunately, if you do want to watch for free but you’ve already used your trial, you can also get Paramount+ through Amazon Prime Channels (free seven-day trial) or DirecTV Stream (free five-day trial). For the latter, note that you’ll need to include the “Paramount+ with SHOWTIME” add-on when signing up, and you can then watch the game on the Paramount+ website or app with your DirecTV Stream log-in info.
The match will also be televised on TUDN Xtra 1, which is available via the Fubo “Pro” or “Latino” package. This is the only streaming service that has the TUDN Xtra channels, and it does come with a seven-day free trial.
A virtual private network (VPN) can mask your IP address and bypass most streaming services’ location-restrictions. In other words, with a VPN, you can watch the match via one of the previously mentioned streaming services even if you’re physically located outside of the United States.
NordVPN is our recommendation thanks to its streaming speed and general reliability. You can also get your money back within 30 days of signing up, so there’s no risk involved if you’re undecided.

The app, which has just rolled out for Apple TV and Google TV, basically takes the video content and livestreams from the creators you already subscribe to and splashes them onto the biggest screen in your house. It is a smart, calculated move toward what the tech industry calls a "lean-back" experience. Instead of hunching over a laptop or squinting at a smartphone screen to watch a forty-minute interview or a deep-dive lecture, you can now throw it on the TV while you cook dinner, fold laundry, or just relax on the couch.
