Barcelona vs Lyon live stream and how to watch the 2022 Women's Champions League final for free

Holders Barcelona take on Lyon in the 2022 UEFA Women's Champions League final this Saturday (kick off: 6pm BST). But how can you watch the most eagerly-anticipated women's football match ever? Well, it's exclusive to DAZN in 200 countries and UK viewers can watch FREE on ITV Hub. Make sure you know how to watch a Barcelona vs Lyon live stream for free, for the 2022 Women's Champions League final wherever you are.

The early team news is in and Barca Captain Alexia Putellas – the tournament's top scorer so far – is likely to play a key role. Lyon's Dzsenifer Marozsán is injured, making way for 22-year-old midfield dynamo Damaris Egurrola.

Turin's Juventus Stadium will be rocking this Saturday. It might be a rematch of the women's final three years ago, but Jonatan Giráldez's Barcelona have made huge strides since losing 4-1 to Lyon in 2019.

Indeed, FC Barcelona Femení are almost unbeaten this season having won every competitive match bar a 2-0 defeat to Wolfsburg in the second leg of their semi-final. Lyon will take some beating, though. The French club are the most successful side in the history of the tournament, having lifted the trophy a record seven times (2011, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020). 

Barcelona vs Lyon kick off is 6pm BST on Saturday, 21st May 2022. It's free to watch on ITV Hub in the UK. Here's how to watch a 2022 Women's Champions League final live stream for free from anywhere.
