The Spanish giants have won all three of their matches in Group H to top the group, bagging eight goals and conceding just once. However, Barça come into this clash without key midfielder Frenkie De Jong thanks to an ankle knock, adding to an injury list that also includes skipper Sergi Roberto.

While Shakhtar have lost two of their three games so far in the group, including last month’s battling 2-1 defeat in the reverse fixture, the Ukrainians’ win over Antwerp in Gameweek 2 means they’re still very much in the mix for qualification to the knockout stages. With the war in Ukraine ongoing, Shakhtar are playing their home games in borrowed venues, today in Hamburger SV’s Volksparkstadion.

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch every game live wherever you are in the world.

Quick tips for streaming UEFA Champions League matches using a VPN 

  • With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Champions League games may vary.
  • If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
  • If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
  • All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. 
  • And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
