What channel is Manchester City vs. Real Madrid on today? TV schedule, live stream to watch Champions League

The second leg of Manchester City vs. Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 is finally here after a delay of almost six months amid the COVID-19 pandemic. But in the United States, the match will be shown with different TV channel and live stream viewing options than those that existed when the two sides played the first leg back in February.

When Manchester City beat Real Madrid 2-1 at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu so many months ago, Turner Sports was the exclusive English language provider of Champions League action in the U.S. Now CBS has the rights, and the network is making Friday's match at the City of Manchester Stadium available on both CBS Sports Network and CBS All Access.

As for the game itself, don't be surprised if City play conservative given both their one-goal cushion and their vulnerability to counter attacks. Real Madrid are on a hot streak after winning La Liga, and even without the suspended Sergio Ramos, they will be tough to contain.

Below is all you need to know to watch Friday's second leg of Manchester City vs. Real Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16, plus a complete TV schedule for the rest of the tournament.

CBS was supposed to take over the exclusive English language rights for Champions League matches in 2021, but it did so ahead of schedule after Turner Sports prematurely ended its deal in June. So CBS is now the home for Champions League action in the United States, but it will not show any of the 11 remaining matches on its over-air cable network.

All Champions League matches are available live on CBS All Access, which is the network's online streaming service. A select few, including Friday's Manchester City vs. Real Madrid Round of 16 second leg, will be shown on TV via CBS Sports Network.
