THE CHAMPIONNNSSS! Yep. It’s around the corner. You want to know how to watch the 2018/2019 Champions League on the internet in high quality for free without buffering and streams breaking? Well, you can as you aren’t watching the 2010/2011 Champions League. We are almost in 2020. You can watch the 2018/2019 Champions League on the internet in high quality for free.
And this season will be exciting as it’s unlike any in the last few seasons. For one, Ronaldo is not playing for Madrid anymore. He also is yet to score for Juventus in the Serie A this season. Perhaps the Champions League will be the breakthrough. He scores the most goals in the Champions League pretty much every season. He will also play against his now ex,ex-club, Manchester United. Is Ronaldo still able to play at the high level? Champions League will determine this.
The big changes though? The fact you can watch double the football every night. Yes. You heard it right. Champions League is adding 6 PM kickoffs meaning your partner is most likely going to kill you if they don’t love football. But that also means you get to watch more than ever!
Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that four teams from the four top leagues qualify automatically instead of having to play in the playoffs meaning that the teams that are of lower quality can’t get in as easily as there’s less space for them. For some that’s good, for some that’s bad...
Okay, firstly, illegal streams rarely provide high quality. The rare circumstance is when a match is really unpopular. Champions League is not in the “not popular” category though. And by illegal we mean streams on sites that don’t have rights to the Champions League although watching streams isn’t necessarily illegal everywhere.
The problem with illegal streams is that they have so many damn watchers. It’s not just somebody from the UK trying to watch the Champions League on the internet in high quality. It’s people from all over the world. Massive demographics that streaming sites cannot handle. That often results in lower quality and choppy content, but you still end up watching anyway because it somewhat works and you prefer that over nothing. Right?
You ultimately have two choices. The fully free method which is legal and allows you to watch matches but a method that you are limited with in terms of what matches you watch, or a paid method that allows you to watch any matches. Both are great and work great, it all depends on what match you want to watch and on your country.
This is complicated. More complicated than for a long time due to the fact that the UK was the big answer to the Champions League for many years.
Well, until BT decided to buy exclusive rights to the Champions League. BBC iPlayer would have been a solution. ITV could have been the solution. Nope. Most likely not this season unless BT sells rights for certain matches which they might, considering they overpaid for the rights but that’s too much waiting for possibly no matches anyway. And that’s why you should look for TV3 and RTE which are Irish broadcasters that have split rights for the Champions League, and both have online players.
And both of these online players work in the majority of countries without any problem regardless of your location. And if they don’t? Well, there’s a solution. A VPN.
With a VPN you can use a service that’s limited to a certain country without having to be in that country. All you need to do is set your VPN or in this instance PrivateVPN to Ireland, and you are virtually in Ireland. In HD and for free as far as having to pay for watching the match goes.
You shouldn’t use free VPN services for content though as they don’t work with most services and when they do, they slow streams down due to those companies buying cheaper internet capacity from web hosters rather than from IP transit providers directly.
But while this method is great, it won’t allow you to watch the match you will want to watch. There’s no choice but merely what the provider decides on.
Which is where the more premium version comes in. Cheaper than TV subscription but also more choice in terms of sports.
DAZN is like Netflix except for live sports. Whatever Champions League match you want to watch, with DAZN, you can. The catch? The price isn’t one. 20 Canadian dollars is not a lot. That’s only €13 or just under £12. The catch though? You have to either be in Canada, Italy, Germany, Japan, or Austria to use DAZN.
And if you want to use DAZN outside of the UK, US, or wherever you are, you also need to use a VPN. Except it’s a lot more complicated than with a free method.
Firstly, you need a VPN that works with DAZN, and that’s hard to find as DAZN does a great job at making it hard for VPN services to work with it due to the pressure of the companies that give DAZN rights to content. PrivateVPN does have a working server in Canada called Toronto 2 though. If you connect to it, DAZN will work for you, and you will be able to watch the 2018/2019 Champions League on the internet in high quality.
But...it’s not that simple as if you want to watch the 2018/2019 Champions League on the internet in high quality unless you already have an account, you need to use a Canadian card to sign up with Canadian DAZN. Or buy a Canadian prepaid card or use a virtual card issued in Canada. Or ask a friend. Even offer to split your account if they will say yes. Splitting would be the best option that benefits everybody.
The Champions League is almost back and it’s going to be back better than ever. That won't matter if you can’t enjoy it in a better than ever quality. This is how you do it.
