Confirmation is expected in the coming weeks but it is understood the Champions League Final between Tottenham and Liverpool in Madrid on June 1 will be free-to-air on BT Sport.

BT have made the final available to watch for free online in the previous three seasons. It is not clear at this stage whether the game will only be available to stream online or whether it will be made available to watch on standard television as well.

With some flights from London to Madrid this morning costing over £1,000, the only way for millions of fans to watch the game at the Wanda Metropolitano will be on BT Sport.

The Champions League has not been shown live on terrestrial television since BT agreed an exclusive live-rights deal for the competition from the 2015-16 season.

Millions without a BT Sport subscription have been unable to watch the two remarkable semi-final comebacks from Tottenham and Liverpool this week.

BT have made occasional Champions League matches free-to-air in previous seasons but that has not been the case this season.

BT are also set to make the Europa League Final free-to-air. The final in Baku on May 29 could be an all-London clash between Arsenal and Chelsea if both clubs get through their semi-finals.
