TRT 1 Broadcasts Fenerbahce and Galatasaray Champions League Matches Free

Turkish football fans can watch selected UEFA Champions League matches free of charge during the 2026-2027 season, with TRT providing domestic coverage through TRT 1 and its digital platform, tabii. According to Haberler.com, Fenerbahce's match against Slavia Prague on October 20 and Galatasaray's away game against Lille on October 21 are scheduled for free live broadcasts on TRT 1.

The broadcasting arrangement covers more than the Champions League. TRT secured Turkish rights to the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League, and UEFA Super Cup under a three-season agreement that began in 2024-2025. The 2026-2027 campaign is the final season of that agreement, according to Haberler.com.

TRT 1 does not broadcast every Champions League fixture. The channel selects certain matches for each matchday, with games involving Turkish clubs generally included in its free-to-air schedule. Some additional fixtures may appear on TRT Spor, while other simultaneous matches are available through tabii Spor and its numbered channels.

Matches carried by TRT 1 and TRT Spor can be watched without a subscription fee through terrestrial television, satellite receivers, or digital television services. This arrangement allows viewers to follow selected European fixtures without paying for a separate sports subscription.

For online viewing, tabii is TRT's designated digital platform for Champions League coverage. The service supports phones, tablets, computers, and smart televisions, providing access to the live TRT 1 feed and other matches carried by tabii Spor channels.

On October 20, 2026, Fenerbahce hosts Slavia Prague at 7:45 p.m. local time in the Champions League league phase's third week. Galatasaray travels to France to face Lille at the same time on Wednesday, October 21. Both matches are scheduled to air free on TRT 1, according to Haberler.com.

TRT 1 is listed on channel 23 for Digiturk, channel 26 for D-Smart, channel 22 for Kablo TV and Tivibu, channel 21 for Turkcell TV+, and channel 20 for Fil Box. Channel assignments may change, and the report advises viewers to check their provider's current lineup.
