What time does the Champions League final start today? TV schedule, live streams for Liverpool vs Real Madrid  image

The biggest club football match of the year is finally here with Liverpool to face Real Madrid in the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League final. 

Both sides have been in good form this season and know how to step up on the big stage. 

Liverpool fell agonisingly short in the Premier League this campaign and won't want to do the same in the Champions League. 

Real Madrid, meanwhile, strolled to La Liga triumph in Spain and are hungry to lift their first UCL title since 2018, which coincidentally came against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

As a game that's set to be watched around the world, The Sporting News has put together the table below which showcases when the match is set to begin across various regions and how to tune in.
