Watch the Champions League in the betting shop
You want to watch the Champions League out and about rather than on your own at home. In many Tipico shops, football evenings play out live on the screens. Whether a particular shop shows a particular match, though, comes down to its licence and isn't guaranteed. Here you can read how it works and what to look out for.
In many Tipico shops you can follow the Champions League on the screens. In a commercial setting, the coverage comes mainly through DAZN For Business, which holds the majority of the matches. Whether your shop shows a specific match varies by licence, so it's best to check on-site beforehand. Tipico shops are betting agencies, not bars. Available to those aged 18 and over (21 in Bremen).
Watch the Champions League out and about instead of on your own at home
In many Tipico betting shops, live sport plays out on the screens, and that can include Champions League evenings. An evening in Europe's top competition is more fun in good company. You're not sitting in a bar or a pub, but in a betting agency where sport can be shown.
No shop is obliged to show a particular match, and the line-up varies from one location to the next. If you want to see a specific match, ask the staff in the shop. Check the opening hours on the shop page before you go.
Where do the Champions League pictures in the shop come from?
For public showing in the shop, DAZN For Business is what matters. More than 90 percent of Champions League matches run through it, with commercial venue rights until 2027. In a private setting, DAZN and Amazon Prime Video share the rights. For watching in a business, though, what counts is the commercial licence, not the private subscription.
That's also why not every shop can automatically show everything. A private subscription can't be shown in public. A shop needs the right commercial licence, and which matches it covers can differ.
Why the line-up differs from shop to shop
Within the scope of its licence, each shop decides for itself what it shows, so a match may be on but doesn't have to be. It comes down to the commercial rights booked, the technical kit and the opening hours on the matchday.
It's best to plan your visit around the exact kick-off. You'll find it in the fixture list. With the time in mind, you can ask at the shop whether that exact match is on the screens.
How to find out what your shop is showing
The most reliable way to find out is to ask the staff in the shop. When you do, give the date, the two teams and the kick-off time. Some shops also list their programme at the entrance or on a board.

Watch fairly and keep it relaxed
A football evening in the shop should be a good time, so keep a cool head and set yourself clear limits. Gambling can be addictive. The offering is aimed solely at people aged 18 and over (21 in Bremen). You can find help and advice anonymously from the Federal Centre for Health Education on the free phone number 0800 1 37 27 00.
Broadcaster offering varies by shop
Whether a shop shows Champions League matches comes down to its commercial licence and varies. Ask on-site.
