Barcelona welcome Bayern Munich to the Camp Nou for a must-win UEFA Champions League game on Wednesday night. The Catalan club bet big on going deep in this year's competition to solve its financial issues, but progress to the knockouts is already out of their hands. Can they do their bit and beat the group leaders? Here's how to watch a Barcelona vs Bayern Munich live stream from anywhere.
Date: Wednesday 26th October
Kick off: 8pm BST / 3pm ET
Location: Camp Nou, Barcelona
Live stream: Paramount+ 7-day free trial (US)
Watch anywhere: ExpressVPN
With just two games left to go in this season's group stage, Barcelona find themselves staring down the barrel of the Europa League. They sit third in Group C, three points behind Inter and eight behind Wednesday's opponents, who beat them 2-0 in the reverse fixture at the start of September. Can they get a much-needed victory here and hope the Italians slip up at home against pointless Viktoria Plzeň?
Xavi has made three changes to the side that put four past Athletic Club on Sunday night, with Marcos Alonso, Franck Kessié and fashion's Héctor Bellerín replacing Sergi Roberto, Eric García and Gavi. Lewandowski starts against his former club.
Bayern might only be second in the Bundesliga but they're one of only two teams to have a 100 percent winning record in the Champions League so far this season. They hadn't even conceded a goal in the competition until Plzeň bagged a couple of consolations in their 4-2 victory last time out, but with first place not yet secured Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann is unlikely to let his team take their foot off the gas.
There are just two changes to the side that beat Hoffenheim at the weekend with Noussair Mazraoui replacing Benjamin Pavard at full-back, and Sadio Mané coming in for Kingsley Coman in attack. Former Stoke striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting continues up top.
It's an 8pm BST kick-off at Camp Nou today, Wednesday 26th October 2022. Read on for more details on how to watch a Barcelona vs Bayern Munich live stream for the 2022/23 Champions League, wherever you are in the world.

Watch a Barcelona vs Bayern Munich live stream from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Barcelona vs Bayern Munich live stream rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
