Bayern Munich vs Chelsea TV channel and live stream info for Champions League clash

Chelsea are set to kick-start their Champions League journey against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, in a match where both unbeaten teams will be put to the test. Enzo Maresca's Blues have remained undefeated in the first four weeks of the Premier League season, while Bayern have not only maintained an unbeaten record in the Bundesliga but have also secured three victories.

The Blues are making a triumphant return to the pinnacle of European football for the first time since the 2022/23 season, when they were defeated by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. However, they enter the competition as reigning Conference League and Club World Cup champions, having triumphed over European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the latter. Chelsea could see Cole Palmer back in the starting line-up in Bavaria after the England international scored upon his return from the bench against Brentford on Saturday. As fans gear up to watch the Blues compete in a different European competition this season, Express Sport brings you all you need to know.
