Sports streaming platform SPOTV NOW announced Monday it will launch its "Champs Pass" for the 2026-27 season.
Available for the second consecutive year, the Champs Pass gives subscribers access to all matches of the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League, select Europa League and Conference League matches, and the 2026 UEFA Super Cup. The pass can be purchased via PC or mobile web through Oct. 31.
A single payment unlocks live and on-demand viewing of all four UEFA competitions across PC, mobile and smart TV, with multi-view functionality included. The pass is priced at 99,000 won ($70), VAT included, and remains valid through June 30 next year.
The Champions League group stage kicks off Sept. 9, and Korean fans are closely watching as between four and six Korean players are expected to feature. Lee Kang-in (Atletico Madrid), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Hwang In-beom (Porto) and Lee Han-beom (Club Brugge) have already secured spots. Yang Hyun-jun (Celtic) will advance if his side beats LASK in the playoff round. Seol Young-woo (Red Star Belgrade), currently in the third qualifying round against Hapoel Be'er Sheva, must clear both that round and the playoff to join what fans are calling the "war of stars."
Beyond the Champions League, Oh Hyeon-gyu (Besiktas) will compete in the Europa League, while Cho Gue-sung (Midtjylland) and the duo of Lee Tae-seok and Lee Gang-hui (both of Austria Vienna) are targeting Conference League group-stage berths.
SPOTV NOW will exclusively broadcast all 2026-27 UEFA Champions League matches, select Europa League and Conference League fixtures, and the 2026 UEFA Super Cup — beginning with the Super Cup clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa on Thursday.
