At 3:00 am on May 30, Beijing time, the final of the European Champions League (Champions League) will be played at the Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. Manchester City and Chelsea will compete for the highest honor in European football. However, Chinese fans could not watch the wonderful match through CCTV's sports channel, because CCTV did not purchase the broadcasting right of this season's Champions League, and could only pay for watching through the online platform.

It is understood that CCTV has been broadcasting the Champions League since 2009. Every year, it will select some important matches for live broadcast or recording, providing high-quality audio-visual enjoyment for Chinese fans. However, due to the rise of copyright fees and the decline of audience rating, CCTV decided not to renew the broadcasting right of the Champions League in 2018. Since the 2018-2019 season, CCTV has not broadcast any Champions League games.

After CCTV gave up the broadcasting right of the Champions League, Chinese fans can only watch the Champions League matches through the network platform, but this also requires paying a certain fee. At present, China's Champions League broadcasting rights are jointly held by Tencent Sports and PP Sports, who provide different viewing methods and prices. Tencent Sports offers the option of single game purchase, single month purchase and whole season purchase at 9.9 yuan, 29 yuan and 98 yuan respectively. PP Sports offers the option of single purchase, single month purchase and half year purchase, with prices of 19.9 yuan, 39 yuan and 168 yuan respectively. In addition, the two platforms also provide services for VIP members to enjoy more benefits and privileges.

For Chinese fans, watching the Champions League matches through the online platform will not only cost more money, but also suffer from problems such as unstable network, stuck images, and excessive delays, which will undoubtedly affect their viewing experience and emotional input. Moreover, since the Champions League matches are played late at night or early in the morning, this will also have a certain impact on the life and work of fans. Therefore, many fans hope that CCTV can buy the broadcasting rights of the Champions League again, so that they can watch the Champions League matches on TV and feel the charm of football and the glory of the Champions League.

The Champions League is the annual football event hosted by UEFA, the highest level of European club football, and one of the most influential and highest level football events in the world. Every year, from September to May of the next year, the teams participating in the Champions League are all excellent teams from European national leagues. After many rounds of competitions such as group matches and knockout rounds, they finally win the championship. The Champions League trophy is a big ear cup made of silver.
