Mbappe's mission to bring the Champions League to Paris before he leaves at the end of the season continues tonight with the first leg of the semi-final in Germany. With just 180 minutes of action to go before the final, you won't want to miss this one, so sit back and let us show you how to watch a free Dortmund vs. PSG live stream, wherever you are right now.

Over the two legs, you'd be tempted to hedge your bets towards the Parisians, given they're strolling to another Ligue Un title right now, while the German side is struggling to break into the Bundesliga's top four for a spot in the Champions League next season. PSG also beat and then drew against Dortmund when they shared a group earlier in the competition. 

As mentioned in our regular guide to free Champions League live streams for every round, there are multiple free options for tonight's game at Signal Iduna Park.

If you want to watch any of the free Dortmund vs. PSG live streams listed below from outside the origin countries, you'll hit a geo-block when you try. However, this is not the case if you use a VPN (virtual private network), which masks your location to get around region blocks and greatly improves your online security and privacy in general. You can use it for free access to the remaining knockout games and more.

Where to watch Dortmund vs. PSG in the UK

There's a fair bit of change this season. BT Sport has been renamed TNT Sport and now comes under the Discovery+ service. If you've been accessing it as a part of a BT TV subscription, you might have had an email about the change, but generally, you should be able to carry on as usual.

If you don't have BT Sport/TNT Sport, you can sign up for Discovery Plus Premium (the cheaper tiers don't include live sport) for £29.99 a month. You can also select it as part of a BT broadband bundle.

If the idea of tracking another streaming service grinds your gears, you might prefer the simpler option of adding it to your Amazon Prime membership as an add-on. It's the same £29.99 a month, and you can cancel anytime. Watching it through Amazon Prime Video means you can enjoy Champions League live streams across more devices, as app support across TVs, consoles, and streaming sticks is much better for Prime Video than Discovery.

Pro tip: If you want a cheaper option, you might want to try Australia's Stan Sport, as you can subscribe with a UK bank account for less than half what it costs for TNT (we've tested this ourselves). You need a VPN to access the site and Champions League live streams outside Australia. It still works out cheaper, though. More details below. Or, if you just want the occasional free game, check out the latest free broadcasts mentioned above, which can be accessed with a VPN, too.

Where to watch Dortmund vs. PSG in Australia

The Champions League is a Stan Sport exclusive in Australia and you can watch every game there. So you'll need to sign up for Stan and then add Stan Sport as an add-on. The cheapest setup is $25 a month (for Stan Basic at $10 and Sport at $15). Better yet, it comes with a 30-day free trial first for the baseline tier - you'll still pay $15 for the Sport add-on from the off, though.

Stan Basic only streams in standard definition, but Stan Sport's content will stream in up to 4K, even when paired with this cheapest tier, so you might as well go Basic if you're just getting it for sport. However, if you want to check out the TV shows and movies too, HD is $16 a month/$21 for 4K (then add $15 for Sport). All are on rolling one-month contracts, so there's no long-term commitment.

If you're eying up this option via a VPN as a cheaper alternative to your country's Champions League streaming service, we can confirm it will work. We were able to pay with a UK bank card (tested September 2023) and have full access to the streaming service. You could also use a travel card like Revolut to pay in local currency so you don't get a foreign transaction fee from your bank.

Where to watch Dortmund vs. PSG in the US

This is where 'soccer' being so far down the rankings of the most popular sports in the USA really pays off for viewers who want to enjoy the most prestigious competition in club football.

You'll find every last Champions League game live streaming on Paramount Plus from just $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year (you wouldn't get two months of Champions League action for that annual price in the UK!). So yes, you can opt for the cheapest Paramount Plus tier and still get the Champions League despite it not having CBS, as the games will run via separate feeds. If you have CBS already, you'll find it airs some games, but nowhere near as many as Paramount Plus.

Paramount Plus 7-day Free Trial

Paramount Plus starts at $5.99 per month with ads, and new members can get a 7-day free trial. If you'd like to sign up for a longer term at a discount, you can get a year's access for $59.99. The free trial is available on both options.
