Aston Villa supporters can watch the Europa League final without paying extra, as Virgin Media offers a free simulcast on channel 526. While the match is no longer available via free YouTube streams and requires a TNT Sports subscription on HBO Max, Virgin Media customers can bypass this with a special pop-up channel.
How to Watch the Final for Free
According to rxtvinfo.com, Virgin Media channel 526 will simulcast live coverage of the Europa League final, eliminating the need for a TNT Sports or HBO Max subscription. This comes as a relief for Aston Villa fans, who previously could watch the final for free on networks like ITV and Channel 5.
Match Details
The final will be held at the Tüpraş Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, home of Beşiktaş, with a capacity of 42,500 fans. Aston Villa faces SC Freiburg for the first time ever, kicking off at 8pm. Villa is seeking their first significant European silverware in 44 years.
Other options to watch include TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate via HBO Max, which requires a £4.99 Basic With Ads subscription. However, Virgin Media customers can enjoy the match at no additional cost on channel 526.
