Real Madrid will look to maintain their unbeaten start to the season as they head to northern France to take on Lille in this Gameweek 2 Champions League fixture.
Currently in second in La Liga behind rivals Barcelona in La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti's side left it late to eventually edge past Stuttgart 3-1 in the first match of their defence of their UCL title.
Up next for Los Blancos is a Lille side which slipped to a 2-0 defeat away to Sporting Lisbon in Gameweek 1, however Les Dogues come into this game off the back of a morale-boosting 3-0 win over Le Havre in Ligue 1 at the weekend.
Lille take on Real Madrid on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at Anfield, with kickoff set for 9 p.m. CEST local time in France, making it an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kick-off in the US and Canada, and a 5 a.m. AEST start in Australia on Thursday morning.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the match as it happens, wherever you are in the world.

How to watch every UEFA Champions League 2024/25 game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view UCL matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
