Tied 1-1 on aggregate, Barcelona and Napoli head to Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys for the second and deciding leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie today.
Pick a streaming option below soon, because the match kicks off at 4:00 p.m. ET. In the United States, you can watch on Paramount+ (English broadcast), Univision (Spanish) or TUDN (Spanish). You can also watch a free live stream a variety of different ways. Here’s how.
Whether you only want to watch this game, or you want to watch every Champions League match from here through the final, Paramount+ is by far the best choice. It includes every match of the competition in both English and Spanish–as well as a ton of other live sports, movies and TV shows–for just $6 per month, plus you can watch for free for the first seven days after signing up.
If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber–you can get Prime for free for 30 days–you can watch Paramount+ through Amazon Prime Channels. It includes all the same content as the regular Paramount+ at the same long-term price, and it also comes with a seven-day free trial. The only difference is you’ll watch the match on the Amazon website or Prime Video app.
You can also get access to the Paramount+ website or app if you include the “Paramount+ with SHOWTIME” add-on when signing up for DirecTV Stream. This is much more expensive long-term because DirecTV Stream has live TV, but it comes with a free five-day trial.
That’s three different options, with three different free trials, for getting Paramount+. But if you’re only concerned with watching this specific match, there are two more ways you can do that for free.
Both Fubo and YouTube TV include TUDN and Univision (which will both televise this match in Spanish), and they both come with a free trial. Not every Champions League match is televised (Arsenal vs Porto, for example, isn’t on TV in the US), so you won’t be able to watch every game with these streaming services, but they are still nevertheless perfectly fine options for watching Barcelona vs Napoli at no cost.
No matter which of those streaming services you have, you’ll also need a virtual private network (VPN) if you want to watch the match from outside of the United States. VPN’s hide your IP address, allowing you to access online content that is normally restricted to a certain location.
In this case, NordVPN is your best option. It’s fast, reliable and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can also take a look at our list of the best VPN services and best VPN deals for more detailed rundowns of all the top VPN choices.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

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.
