Who will win the 2023-24 Europa League? You don’t have to wait long to find out.
We’ve reached the semi-final second legs, meaning the four remaining teams just two matches away from glory.
But who will make it to the final in Dublin on 22 May? We know there’ll be no British teams there, after Liverpool and West Ham were both eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Instead, Atalanta are tied with Marseille from the first leg, while Bayer Leverkusen lead Roma. Here’s how to watch both semi-final second legs live, wherever you are in the world.
Europa League fixtures
Here are the semi-final matches you have to look forward to:

How to watch the Europa League in the UK
BT Sport has been rebranded as TNT Sports, but it still has the exclusive rights to the Europa League in the UK. Not much has changed in terms of the plans available, either.
At full price, the cheapest package costs £20 per month on a monthly rolling contract, though you’re limited to the discovery+ app. However it also includes Eurosport 1 & 2 and the discovery+ Premium streaming service.
But if you’d rather stream all the action and don’t want a recordable TV box, it makes more sense to simply add TNT Sports to discovery+. That costs £20 per month for BT Broadband customers, but you’ll need to get the monthly pass for £30.99 per month otherwise.
And if you’d like to combine TNT Sports with Sky Sports (known as ‘Big Sport’), it’ll cost you £45 per month at full price.
How to watch the Europa League in the US
In the US, CBS has the exclusive English-language rights to the Europa League, with every match being broadcast live. If you already have cable TV, check if it’s supported on the CBS website and then contact your provider.
But if you don’t want to get cable, there’s an easy alternative. Simply sign up to the Paramount+ streaming service (from $5.99 per month) and you’ll have full access on all your devices.
The most hassle-free way is to sign up for a live TV streaming service. YouTube TV ($72.99 per month), Hulu+ Live TV ($76.99 per month), Fubo Pro ($79.99 per month) and DirecTV Stream ($69.99 per month) all include CBS Sports. None of these are cheap, but they offer plenty of other benefits.
How to watch the Europa League outside the UK and US
Before trying to watch UK or US TV from abroad, it’s worth checking which broadcaster has the rights to the Europa League where you’re based. See the full list of international broadcasters on the UEFA website.
But if you’re just visiting another country, it makes sense to access your US or UK subscription, which requires a VPN. We’re using NordVPN for the purposes of this tutorial, but there are plenty of great alternatives in our best VPN chart.
Download the relevant VPN app

Connect to a US or UK server

Open the app and sign in to your account if necessary. Then, select any US or UK server and connect to it.
Depending on the service you’re using, it might look quite different to the above. But this should be relatively easy to find.
Start watching as usual
