The Europa League will reach its conclusion on Thursday, May 17 at 4:45am (AEST) with Olympique de Marseille set to do battle with Atletico Madrid in the final. This is The Roar‘s guide to streaming the match online and watching it on TV.
While the Champions League takes much of the limelight, the Europa League is still the second biggest club competition in the UEFA region.
Marseille qualified for the final after beating Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg in extra time. Atletico had it tougher as they fought their way past English giants Arsenal.
The final will be broadcast exclusively in Australia on BeIN Sports, which is available a number ways.
They will broadcast the match on BeIN Sports 1, which can be found at Channel 280 in high definition and 513 in standard definition, with coverage set to start at 4am (AEST) with a pre-game show and end at 7:30am (AEST) following a post-game show.
To watch the coverage on Foxtel, you will need to have a valid Foxtel TV subscription, complete with the sports package.
There are multiple ways to stream the Europa League final online.
The best of those though will be to use the Foxtel App or Foxtel Now, which are Foxtel’s two dedicated streaming applications.
The Foxtel App is better if you already have a TV subscription, while packages with the sports package for Foxtel Now start from $39 per month.
The match will also be available through BeIN’s own digital offering, BeIN Sports Connect, and Fetch TV on Optus.
Here at The Roar, we will also be running a live blog of all the action so you won’t miss a moment.

Funny how complicated and costly football viewing has become. It used to be SBS had this live and that's all you needed to know. Now, some can watch and some might be able to and some cannot so a lot of interest in football dies with the greed surrounding football. If you have a family and cannot afford all the extras, well the kids will watch NRL or AFL live for free.
