Attention FireStick Users: Read before you continue
Your government and ISP are probably monitoring your streaming activities using your IP address 35.175.39.36 (exposed to all). You may get into serious legal trouble for streaming copyrighted videos on FireStick.
I strongly recommend getting a trusted VPN for FireStick to hide your IP address and protect your online identity.
I use ExpressVPN on all my devices as it is the most secure, fastest, and easy-to-use VPN. It comes with an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee, and you get 3 free months with the yearly plan.

2023-24 Champions League Preview
The 2023-24 Champions League is the 69th edition of the tournament. The winner of the tournament will automatically qualify for the next year’s league matches. UEFA also organizes the Super Cup, where the winners of the Champions League and Europa League clash.
It’s going to be the last Champions League with the standard 32-team format. The newly announced format will take place from the next year. Manchester City is the defending champion in the UEFA 2023-24 Champions League. The Premier League club their first-ever Champions League title last year.
To avoid clashes with the regular leagues, all Champions League matches are played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (except for the preliminary round final and the final).
There are a total of eight groups, with four teams in each. Apart from defending champions Manchester City, it will be interesting to see how high-profile teams like Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Barcelona will fare in the league. I expect them to reach the knockout stages quite easily, but their performance (and player availability) in such matches will be the deciding factor. Before we talk about the streaming options, let’s quickly glance over the 2023-24 group stage and knockout matches schedule.

Check Sports Websites, IPTV Providers, and Kodi
There are four ways to watch the Champions League on FireStick without paying a single dime. You should first start with Kodi and integrate the top sports Kodi addons to enable live football streaming.
You can also go with the top sports apps on FireStick and install a couple of apps on Fire TV.
These apps aren’t available on FireStick. You need to sideload them on your device. If you don’t want to deal with them, fire up the Amazon Silk browser and visit the top sports websites to cheer for your favorite teams. Make sure to use ExpressVPN to stay private while visiting such websites.
IPTV services are another neat alternative to the sports apps and websites on FireStick. You need to start with a monthly plan and watch all the sports and entertainment coverage for a small price. You need to set up these IPTV providers with an IPTV player, and you are good to go.
