How to Watch the 2023 UEFA Champions League Final for Free
Viewers in Ireland and Austria can watch the Champions League final for free in HD.
The RTE Player in Ireland is our preferred way to stream. We’ve used it to watch quarterfinal and semifinal games this Champions League season. It offers English-language commentary and does not require any sign-ups or information from the viewer’s end.
However, there is one small hiccup. You won’t be able to access the RTE Live Player without an Irish IP address. The stream blocks users from outside the country from viewing its content.
This is where a VPN can help you out. A VPN or virtual private network is a cybersecurity software tool that lets you change your IP address and re-route your network traffic through a different region. In short, it makes it appear like you’re using the internet from a country or city of your choosing.

Man City vs. Inter: Immortality or an Upset for the Ages?
Manchester City is on the edge of immortality. This special season has seen the Sky Blues win the Premier League and the FA Cup. On Saturday, they will have the chance to do what only one English team has ever achieved before, winning the elusive treble.
Man City has long been one of the heavyweights of Europe, but the Champions League title has eluded them so far. They made the finals in 2021 only to lose 1-0 to Chelsea. However, City has played with a singular focus of finally getting the job done. They dispatched German titans Bayern Munich and last year’s winners Real Madrid on their journey to Istanbul.
Manager Pep Guardiola previously won the Spanish treble as manager of FC Barcelona. However, the legendary tactician has failed to win the Champions League since 2011.
Haaland, De Bruyne, and Gündoğan Key for City
City’s biggest weapon heading into the final will be Erling Haaland. In his first season in English football, the Norwegian forward has shattered goal scoring records (with 52 goals and 9 assists in all competitions). Inter will need to be sharp for the whole game to try and keep Haaland off the scoresheet.
However, Man City did not get this far on the Norwegian’s broad shoulders alone. Midfield star Kevin De Bruyne always seems to have a moment of magic in him that can unlock the tightest of defences. Fellow playmaker İlkay Gündoğan has shown a penchant for turning up in big games over the years, and scored two goals to help City win the FA Cup last week.
Inter Aim to Spoil the Party
The Nerazzurri have a herculean task ahead of them. However, this is a role that manager Simone Inzaghi and his troops will relish. Inter knocked off city rivals AC Milan in the semifinals to book their first Champions League final appearance since 2010.
Inter are likely to spend a lot of time sitting tight in their own half in an attempt to contain Man City’s offense. However, the Nerazzurri can be lethal on the counterattack, led by World Cup winner Lautaro Martinez. The Argentine has by far been his side’s sharpest marksman, with 28 goals and 10 assists in all competitions.
It will be interesting to see who Inzaghi selects to partner Martinez up front. Both Edin Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku have scored 14 goals this season and offer their own unique threats. Lukaku can offer a similar physical threat as Haaland, however, he has a poor record in the big games.
An early goal for Inter would certainly spin this game on its head. On the other hand, if Man City gets off to a fast start, this final could be dead in the water before we know it. A historical final awaits us in Istanbul on Saturday!
