BT sports announced that it will stream UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League Finals free on YouTube. EE, the UK’s biggest 4G mobile network provider and part of BT Group, will also introduce a new offer to bring BT Sport to millions of EE customers, initially those on 4GEE pay monthly mobile plans, in time for the start of the next football season. 

The plans will see the company stream its Freeview BT Sport Showcase channel on YouTube for both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League finals. By doing so, it will bring the matches within reach of millions of additional fans who do not yet subscribe to BT Sport.

BT Sport claims that it has well over five million homes now subscribing to the channels and the service is available in over 27,000 commercial premises.

John Petter, chief executive of BT consumer
We’ve always said we wanted to give top-quality sport back to the people and making the Uefa Champions League and Europa League finals free to everyone in the UK does this in a big way.

Stephen Nuttall, YouTube’s Senior Director in EMEA
At YouTube, we love football and we’re thrilled to give UK supporters more ways to watch BT Sport’s fantastic live coverage of these two massive games. Fans today expect quality content on every screen and this partnership enables just that. Football is YouTube’s biggest sport; we’re host to over 300 football clubs, 37 leagues and channels from BT Sport to UEFA.
