Champions League: where to watch BVB v Villarreal live | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund begin the new Champions League season against Villarreal CF. Here, fans can find out where the match will be shown live on TV and via stream.

Borussia Dortmund’s Champions League adventure begins on Tuesday evening. To open the new league phase, BVB host Spanish top-flight side Villarreal CF at Signal Iduna Park. Kick-off is at 9 p.m. on 8 September. After a successful start to the Bundesliga season, coach Niko Kovac’s team will also be looking to make an early statement on the international stage.

Most recently, Dortmund showed great character in their 3–2 away win over TSG Hoffenheim. After falling 2–0 behind, BVB turned the match around and head into their Champions League opener full of confidence. Villarreal, however, are unlikely to travel to Dortmund just to hand over the points. The Spaniards will be aiming for a positive result in Europe’s premier competition after an inconsistent start to the season.

Even so, BVB go into the clash at home in a strong position. Dortmund can also take encouragement from their only previous competitive meeting with Villarreal. In November 2025, the two sides also met in the Champions League. On that occasion, Borussia Dortmund ran out convincing 4–0 winners in front of their home crowd.

Where can you watch BVB vs. Villarreal live on TV and stream?

Football fans will not be able to watch the match on free-to-air TV. In Germany, Amazon Prime Video holds the exclusive live rights for this game. The streaming service’s coverage begins at 8 p.m., before kick-off at 9 p.m. A paid Prime subscription is required to watch the livestream.

In last season’s Champions League campaign, BVB were knocked out after the playoffs against Atalanta Bergamo. This time, Kovac and his team are hoping to go further. A home win in the opener would be an important first step.
