Arsenal to feature in new European version of Match of the Day - and Tottenham could join them

BBC is set to undergo a significant broadcast change with the introduction of a new midweek Match of the Day-style show starting next season, meaning Arsenal's Champions League exploits will be available to see on terrestrial television — and Tottenham could still join them.

This comes as fans will be able to enjoy free midweek highlights of the newly-expandedChampions League on the BBC for the next three seasons.

The top European football competition will see an increase from 32 to 36 clubs from the 2024-25 season, resulting in a rise from 125 games to 189.

The broadcaster has expressed their excitement over their three-year deal with UEFA for a Match of the Day-style show. Amazon Prime Video is also set to feature 17 Tuesday night matches while TNT Sports, although losing exclusive rights, will still broadcast the remaining 533 of the 550 live games. They'll also maintain their exclusivity for the Europa League and Europa Conference League.

It marks the first time since 2018 that Champions League rights haven't been exclusively held by TNT Sports, and the first time in close to a decade that highlights will be available free to air.

Follow all the action from the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League. TNT Sports will show every game including the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League finals this season.

Arsenal are already guaranteed their place in the continent's premier competition next term and rivals Tottenham could still join them, though their hopes were dented by the confirmation on Wednesday night that the Premier League would not be granted a fifth Champions League place. Germany and Italy will instead be handed extra places.
