Is Chelsea v Pafos on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Champions League clash

Chelsea return to Champions League action against Cypriot side Pafos on Wednesday night.

Liam Rosenior will take charge of his first European game at Stamford Bridge following a 2-0 win against Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.

Last time out in Europe, when Enzo Maresca was in charge, they lost 2-1 at Atalanta but did beat Barcelona at home in November.

Pafos, meanwhile, are just outside the play-off spots in 27th place heading into this matchday and have performed admirably on their Champions League debut. They lost 2-0 at Juventus in December, but did hold Monaco to a draw prior to that.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Chelsea vs Pafos is due to kick off at 8pm GMT on Wednesday 21 January at Stamford Bridge

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on TNT Sports 3, with coverage on the channel from 7pm GMT. A live stream will be available via discovery+.

Liam Rosenior confirmed that Enzo Fernandez is set to be absent due to illness, while Tosin Adarabioyo has picked up a hamstring issue. Malo Gusto, Estevao and Jamie Gittens are set to return to the squad.
