Champions League matches on TV tonight: Channels, live stream and kick-off times

The Champions League group stage returns tonight, with matchday one seeing eight matches taking place across the continent in what is expected to be an exciting set of matches.

The other match in Group G sees Borussia Dortmund host FC Copenhagen.

The other early kick-off is Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb in Group E, with Thomas Tuchel hoping that his side can show better form in Europe than they have been doing so far in the Premier League. The other match in The Blues' group has Serie A champions AC MIlan travelling to Austria to face Red Bull Salzburg.
