PSG vs Benfica live stream and match preview
Looking for a PSG vs Benfica live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
Group H leaders PSG welcome Benfica to the Parc des Princes, with both teams looking to make it three wins from four in the 2022/23 Champions League.
After drawing last week's reverse fixture in Lisbon 1-1 then being held to a goalless draw away to Reims in the league last time out, PSG have gone two games without a win for the first time since late last season. Les Parisiens have won each of their previous six Champions League home games, though, and a sixth successive victory would see them equal their longest such streak in the competition.
However, Benfica are unbeaten in four on the road in the Champions League (although they've not won back-to-back away matches in the competition since 2011). Like PSG, the Portuguese giants are unbeaten in league and cup this term; they've won 14 out of 16 matches, returning to winning ways after concecutive draws with a 4-2 league triumph over Rio Ave on Saturday.
Team news
PSG head coach Christophe Galtier will once again have to make do without Lionel Messi, who picked up a calf injury towards the end of the reverse meeting. Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes and Renato Sanches are also sidelined.
Defenders Felipe Morato and Lucas Verissimio remain absent for Benfica, but boss Roger Schmidt otherwise has a full squad to select from.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
International TV rights

• USA: Paramount Plus – plans start at $4.99 a month with a seven day free trial

• Australia: Stan Sport – this is from $20 a month (including a $10 Stan basic subscription) and comes with a seven day free trial
