Is Barcelona vs PSG on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Champions League clash

Barcelona hosts PSG in a Champion’s League clash of titans on Wednesday night.

Last year’s semi-finalists host the reigning champions at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, with both having made winning starts to their European campaigns.

Marcus Rashford was the hero as Barca swept aside Newcastle 2-1 in matchweek one, while Hansi Flick’s men are high on confidence after a fine domestic start too, as they sit top of La Liga.

PSG meanwhile hammered Atalanta 4-0 in their Champions League opener with four different players on the scoresheet, and Luis Enrique’s men recovered from a first defeat of the season - a 1-0 loss to Marseille - to return to the top of Ligue 1 with a straightforward win over Auxerre last time out.

Here’s everything you need to know.
