Is the Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool Game Live on TV?

Liverpool hope to keep up their perfect start to the 2025/26 campaign, as they host Atlético Madrid for their UEFA Champions League group stage opener at Anfield. After two narrow late wins versus Arsenal and Burnley, the Reds have momentum under the management of Arne Slot. With Mohamed Salah on a roll from the penalty spot and new signing Alexander Isak likely to make his debut, Liverpool will be keen to make a statement in Europe.
Atlético Madrid will be looking to bounce back after a shaky start to their La Liga season, but Diego Simeone’s team is one of the best tactically disciplined teams in Europe. The Spaniards collected their first win of the season against Villarreal last week, but entered Anfield a bit battered with injuries and inconsistent form. And as if that adds to the intrigue, there's a history, as the Spaniards famously knocked Liverpool out in 2020

Match Preview

Liverpool comes into this contest feeling good about itself, coming into the game with a perfect Premier League record and having Arne Slot instilled in this group. Mohamed Salah is still the biggest threat to the Reds' offense, and while Alexander Isak may also make his debut for the club, he will add further excitement to the matchup. Once again, under the stadium lights, Anfield will prove to be important, as Liverpool will seek to make a statement early in the group stages.
One note, though, Atlético Madrid is never an easy opponent. Always dangerous, Cholo's side is wont to put its own defensive resilience to use in high-pressure European matches. With injuries to key players, Atlético, however, will be an incredibly tough game; Griezmann's experience and Koke's midfield presence make it even harder for Liverpool to find space between Atlético's organized, structured, and regimented lines of defense to establish an attacking rhythm.
In this match-up versus Atlético Madrid, Liverpool is confident they can make their free-flowing, attacking football will beat Atlético's gambling defensive style. This array of stylistic contrasts bodes to create moments of drama, like many of the recent encounters of the two camps have produced over the years.
