Chelsea vs AC Milan live stream: How to watch Champions League match online, lineups

Today's Chelsea vs AC Milan live stream will see the Group E table toppers travel to West London — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

Chelsea are still looking for their first Champions League win of the season at the third time of asking as they welcome AC Milan to Stamford Bridge. The Blues currently sit in last place after suffering defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia before a stalemate against RB Salzburg in Graham Potter’s first game in charge. If Chelsea are to progress from Group E, they need to start picking up points before a larger gap opens. 

Meanwhile, AC Milan are currently sitting at the top of the table after earning a win and draw in their Champions League group games to date. The Italian side have only lost once this season, and sit in 5th in the Serie A table after a respectable start to the season. But a growing injury crisis is giving manager Stefano Pioli trouble, and the Rossoneri could have up to nine players out of the game against Chelsea. 

The group positions might suggest that AC Milan are the favorite, but between a depleted squad and the fact the side haven’t won a Champions League match at an English ground since beating Man Utd in February 2005, AC Milan could be forced to settle for a point. Chelsea will almost certainly push for all three. 

The only way to find out how this one plays out is by watching a Chelsea vs AC Milan live stream and we’ll show you how to do so below. Plus, don't forget to also check out our full Champions League live streams hub for fixtures, tables and lots more.
