How to watch Linfield's Champions League qualifiers in Nyon

Linfield travel to Switzerland later this week for their Champions League preliminary round qualifiers.

The Blues take on San Marino outfit Tre Fiori in the semi-finals, and if they win they will progress to next week's final.

UEFA have no plans to stream the games, but Linfield fans can still see the action.

Here's some more info...

Where are the games taking place?

The qualifying games are being played behind closed doors at the Colovray Sports Centre in Nyon, Switzerland.

Who do Linfield play and when?

Linfield take on San Marino champions Tre Fiori in the semi-finals this Saturday, August 8. The game kicks off at 3pm local time (2pm BST).

What round is this?

This is the preliminary qualifying round of the Champions League.

And what happens if Linfield win their semi-final against Tre Fiori?

If they win, David Healy's side will progress to the final next Tuesday, August 11. The final will again be played in Nyon, Switzerland.

Who is in the other semi-final?

The second semi-final will be between Drita (Kosovo) and Inter Club d-Escaldes (Andorra). That also takes place this Saturday, August 8.

How can fans watch the games?

LinfieldTV will have highlights of the game on their official YouTube channel on Saturday evening.

They had hoped to show the match live but the venue they are playing at in Nyon doesn't have the internet connectivity to provide live coverage.

The club said: "Recorded highlights of tomorrow’s game will be broadcast as soon as possible after tomorrow’s game on Linfield tv.

"Match updates will be provided on official social media platforms during the course of tomorrow’s game.

"Linfield FC will share the frustration experienced by so many of our fans who had been looking forward to seeing the team return to UEFA Champions League action."
