What channel is Real Madrid v Man City Champions League match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Real Madrid v Man City in the Champions League, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
European heavyweights Real Madrid and Manchester City both bid to land the first blow in the opening leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Wednesday evening.
The hosts are set to be without star striker Kylian Mbappé, who joins Jude Bellingham on a lengthy list of absentees, for the game at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid finished outside the top eight in the League Phase and had to beat Benfica in the play-off round to book their place in the last 16 but usually come to life in the latter stages of Europe's elite club competition.
Man City won't fear the Bernabeu, having won there in September, and head to the Spanish capital on an 11-game unbeaten run, which has included nine victories.
Having missed Saturday's win over Newcastle in the FA Cup, Erling Haaland is expected to be fit for Wednesday's first leg – in a major boost to the visitors' hopes.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Real Madrid v Man City on TV and online.
