PSG vs Dortmund live stream: Can you watch for free?

PSG take on Dortmund today for a trip to the Champions League final, and we've compiled all the ways you can watch a free live stream of the match in the US.

With Borussia Dortmund carrying a slim 1-0 aggregate lead over Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League semifinal, the action heads to Parc de Princes for the decisive second leg today. Niclas Füllkrug gave the the German outfit the important advantage last week, but when these teams met in Paris during the group stage, it was PSG rolling to the 2-0 victory. As such, we seemed destined for a thrilling conclusion to this showdown.

The match is about to start, at 3:00 p.m. ET, so sign up for one of the streaming options below quickly. If you live in the United States, the only way to watch the match in English is through Paramount+, but we’ve compiled several different ways you can watch a free live stream of Dortmund vs PSG–and tomorrow’s Real Madrid vs Bayern match.

As we just mentioned, the match won’t be televised in English anywhere in the United States. It will only be on Univision and TUDN, which are both Spanish-speaking channels. But if you’re looking to watch in English, you can do that via the Paramount+ “Essential” plan, which includes every Champions League and Europa League match (which also has its semifinal second-legs this week) in either English or Spanish.

Paramount+ will run you just $6 per month–and you only need one month to get you through the Champions League final on June 1–but if you simply want to watch Dortmund vs PSG and Real Madrid vs Bayern without paying anything, it also comes with a seven-day free trial.

Or, if you’ve already tried out Paramount+ before, you can also get a separate free trial through Amazon Prime Channels, which will let you watch the match on Amazon’s digital platforms instead. Note that you need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber for this option, but Prime itself also comes with a 30-day free trial).

If you don’t mind watching the match in Spanish, there are three more options, as Fubo (“Pro” channel package), YouTube TV (“Base Plan”) and DirecTV Stream (“Ultimate” channel package) all include TUDN, and they all come with a free trial. Moreover, each of these streaming services also include CBS (live in most markets), so you’ll be able to watch tomorrow’s Real Madrid vs Bayern match, as well.

If you’re a subscriber to Paramount+ or one of the aforementioned streaming services, you’re likely already aware that they only work if you’re physically inside the United States. However, if you’re abroad, you can use a virtual private network (VPN) to hide your location and connect to a US-based digital server. This helps you bypass location-restrictions and watch content on your favorite streaming service as if you were still in your home country.

NordVPN is reliable, fast and really easy to use. It works with all of the previously mentioned streaming services, and, if you’re feeling unsure, it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you want some other options, you can also take a gander at our lists of the best VPN services and the best VPN deals.

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.
