Group A in the Champions League 23/24 starts today with an A-list fixture: Bayern Munich vs Manchester United. It is a match-up that stirs memories of some of the greatest nights of European club football, not least that final in 1999 — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

Eric ten Hag’s team have made a poor start domestically, losing to Spurs, Arsenal and Brighton already. They have not been particularly impressive in the games that they have won either. A big European night might be just what they need to kick-start their season, but a visit to the Allianz Arena is a huge challenge, particularly given the Bavarian's new firepower up front.

Bayern Munich are unbeaten in the Bundesliga. They sit behind Bayer Leverkusen on goal difference after conceding a stoppage-time equaliser to them on Friday night. All eyes will, of course, be on Harry Kane as the England captain returns to the Champions League with his new club. Spurs’s all-time record goalscorer continues to find the net in Germany. He has scored in three of his opening four league matches.

With Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen making up the rest of Group A, both these teams will be expecting to qualify for the Round of 16. However, their results against each other will likely decide who wins the group. It always matters when Bayern Munich and Manchester United meet.

Here's how they line up:

Bayern Munich: Ulreich, Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies, Kimmich, Goretzka, Sane, Musiala, Gnabry, Kane

Man Utd: Onana; Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Reguilon; Casemiro, Eriksen; Fernandes, Pellistri, Hojlund, Rashford

Below, we’ve got all the details you need to watch a Bayern Munich vs Manchester United live stream, wherever you are. Plus, don’t miss a single CL game by checking out how to watch Champions League live streams.
