Champions League 2022-2023, where to watch the quarter-finals (on TV and in streaming)
Champions League 2022-2023
The quarter-finals of the Champions League this year promise to be a real roller coaster for our football fans. Three teams had access to the last stages of the tournament, namely Inter, Milan and Napoli, who in April will play the access to the semi-finals in May and then to the final on Saturday 10 June. It had been years since the shortlist of finalists was so crowded with Italian teams, which is why we decided to tidy up the tournament calendar to show when and above all where it is possible to watch each single match, possibly subscribing to the necessary services.Like last year, the rights to the 2022-2023 Champions League are divided up in this way: the satellite broadcaster Sky and the online platform Mediaset Infinity+ broadcast all the matches with the exception of 16 matches granted exclusively to the streaming platform Amazon Prime Videos. Mediaset's free-to-air channels, on the other hand, broadcast one match a week from those on the Sky calendar.
In fact, therefore, in order to see all the matches without missing a single match, it will be necessary to subscribe to at least two season tickets: one for Sky or Mediaset Infinity+ and one to Amazon Prime Video. Here are specifically what the next matches will be broadcast by each platform - in a list updated as the tournament continues - and the instructions for watching them.
The quarter-finals of the Champions League on Amazon
The e-commerce giant is confronting the world of the Champions League for the second year after the positive experience of the 2021-2022 season. The rights placed in the safe by the group are on the best Wednesday night match, or 16 matches from the start of the championship to one of the two semifinals. The group has ensured that when possible these matches will always involve an Italian team present in the groups, and in the event of qualification up to the semi-finals.The calendar for the quarter-finals includes:
Wednesday 12 April at 21:00: Milan-Naples 🇮🇹 Wednesday 19 April at 21:00: Inter-Benfica 🇮🇹 While to watch the matches you need an Internet connection and subscription to Amazon Prime Video, which includes a free trial period of 30 days after which a monthly pass starts at 4.99 euros per month or 49 euros per year (for students the prices are halved). The devices where you can watch matches are all smartphones, tablets, consoles, smart TVs and PCs, as well as traditional TVs with set top boxes or a computer connected via an HDMI connection.
The quarter-finals of the Champions League on Sky
The Sky satellite channel will broadcast the absolute majority of matches, i.e. all but those on the Amazon calendar. In short, the quarter-finals are:Tuesday 11 April at 21:00: Manchester City-Bayern Monaco Tuesday 11 April at 21:00: Benfica-Inter 🇮🇹 Wednesday 12 April at 21:00: Real-Madrid Chelsea Tuesday 18 April at 21:00: Chelsea-Real Madrid Tuesday 18 April at 21:00: Napoli-Milan 🇮🇹 Wednesday 19 April at 21:00: Bayern Munich-Manchester City there are two alternatives. The first passes through satellite and the classic Sky subscription, including the Sky Sport package which gives access to all the matches for a total of 30.90 euros per month.

Also in this case the offer must be distinguished between televised and streaming matches. The first category includes free-to-air matches on Canale 5 , which will be the best match on Tuesday evening plus the final on 10 June 2023 . The matches already on the calendar are:Tuesday 11 April at 21:00: Benfica-Inter 🇮🇹 Tuesday 18 April at 21:00: Napoli-Milan 🇮🇹 On the streaming side, the offer to subscribe is that of Infinity+, which for 7.99 euros a month promises the same matches on the Sky calendar.
