ESPN International holds exclusive pay video rights throughout the Americas, in all languages across all pay video distribution platforms (pay TV, broadband Internet, and mobile devices), to the UEFA Champions League from Match Day 1 through the Final, for the 2006-2007 through the 2008-2009 seasons, for a period of 24 hours after kickoff of each match, via an agreement with Swiss sports marketing agency TEAM Marketing AG.

In the US, ESPN2 is required to air at least 13 matches live each season, with first pick of live match telecasts on each match day. ESPN360.com will simulcast each ESPN2 live telecast via broadband Internet.

ESPN International has sublicensed the second pick of live match telecasts in the US on each match day to Setanta Sports North America. Setanta Sports USA and Setanta Broadband will air the second choice live match.

ESPN Deportes will air 77 matches each season in the US in Spanish, with up to 25 matches live. ESPN Deportes will have the third pick of live match telecasts. ESPN360.com will simulcast each ESPN Deportes live telecast via broadband Internet.

Setanta Premium will offer matches involving Celtic of Scotland, plus matches involving Portuguese and Greek clubs, via closed-circuit TV to commercial establishments in the US and Canada if ESPN2 does not pick one of those matches for live broadcast.

In Canada, TSN (English) and RDS (French) will each air at least 25 matches, while TLN (Italian) will air all matches involving Italian teams plus the final.

After the exclusive 24-hour window has expired, each team is allowed by UEFA to distribute its UEFA Champions League matches on its own team-branded TV and broadband video networks to viewers worldwide

UEFA Champions League Highlights Show

Thats not too bad all things considered (a few years ago when we only got 1 or 2 games a week). you can get deportes by subscribing to the basic latino package on dish (for 24.99/month) if your cable company doesnt offer it. I do it for the CL season and it is worth it in my opinion. w/ that package you also get goltv which shows uefa cup games spanish, italian league as well as south american leagues.

Sky Sports will be launching a new service where Champions League matches

will be shown live on the internet.

While Sky Sports Broadband will continue to provide extensive highlights on

the Champions League, we will not be providing the live streaming service.

Further information will be available at www.skysports.com, www.sky.com,

www.skybroadband.com and www.uefa.com in the near future.

this the response I got from Sky Broadband customer services, it's in their plans to offer live match coverage in the UK but we'll have to wait.

First the schedule posted above has changed. So Oly is no longer being shown at midnight on Deportes, and AEK is being shown at 4:45 pm instead of 12. This is always according to soccertv.com and of course can change again.

As far as live streaming This is from uefa.com

Live coverage of the UEFA Champions League available via uefa.com. Each match may be purchased on an individual pay-per-view basis. Coverage is either provided by uefa.com (for which you may use your uefa.com video account) or directly by UEFA's broadcast partner in your region. Click on the "Buy" arrow to access the match listing and reserve your stream.

The video portion of the site is still not 100% so you cant see a listing of what matches you can buy and how much they are going to charge, but hopefully they will update it w/in the next couple of days.
