Is Athletic Bilbao v Arsenal on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Champions League | OneFootball

Arsenal kick off their Champions League campaign away at Athletic Bilbao tonight as the Gunners go in search of their first title in the competition after last season’s heartbreak.

Mikel Arteta’s side lost out to eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, after a sensational victory over Real Madrid at the quarter-final stage.

It meant Arsenal finished the season without silverware after falling short of a title challenge in the Premier League but the Gunners have invested heavily over the summer.

Arteta has looked to build a squad capable of competing across multiple fronts and it will be put to the test at Athletic, who finished fourth in LaLiga last season.

But the hosts will be without star forward - and reported Arsenal target - Nico Williams. Here’s everything you need to know
