The UEFA Champions League final and the Europa League finals will be streamed live on YouTube.
BT Sport announced last week that it had struck a deal to stream the finals of the Europa League competition on the 18th of May and the UEFA Champions league on the 28th of may 2016.
John Petter, chief executive of BT consumer, said: “We’ve always said we wanted to give top-quality sport back to the people and making the Uefa Champions League and Europa League finals free to everyone in the UK does this in a big way.
“We’re also bringing BT Sport to a new generation of younger sports fans who view their entertainment online, through social media and on their mobile devices. We plan to make these finals the most social sports broadcast ever, with lots of exciting content in the build-up and on the night across YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Vine.”
Stephen Nuttall, YouTube’s senior director in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said: “At YouTube, we love football and we’re thrilled to give UK supporters more ways to watch BT Sport’s fantastic live coverage of these two massive games.
“Fans today expect quality content on every screen and this partnership enables just that. Football is YouTube’s biggest sport; we’re host to over 300 football clubs, 37 leagues and channels from BT Sport to UEFA.”
