Ten Sports Network's UEFA Champions League coverage plan

European football’s crème de la crème are all set to kick off 2013–14 UEFA Champions League.

It is the 59th season of Europe’s premier club football tournament organized by UEFA, and the 22nd season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs’ Cup to the UEFA Champions League.

The 2014 Champions League Final will be played at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal. Bayern Munich are the defending champions.

Here is the coverage plan of the opening leg of UEFA Champions League. All matches will be shown across the Ten Sports Network on Ten Action, Ten Sports and Ten HD (except Ten Golf and Ten Cricket).

There will be 8 matches being played almost simultaneously on a Champions League match day, so Ten Sports Network will telecast only three matches live.

Joe Morrison will host pre and post match programs ‘C2K EXTRA TIME’. There are no plans to launch Hindi feed of UEFA Champions League as of now. Ten Sports has UEFA football telecast rights till 2015.

The matches which will be shown live. Live coverage starts at 11:30 PM and kick off time 12:15 AM IST.Tuesday, 17.9.13, UEFA Champions League Matchday 1

Wednesday, 18.09.13, UEFA Champions League Matchday 2

As it is humanly impossible to watch 8 matches simultaneously being played on a match day, so fans are bound to miss live action of the other 5 matches.
