Liverpool vs Galatasaray kick-off time

Champions League - Final Stage

Anfield

Liverpool vs Galatasaray will kick off on 18 Mar 2026 at 16:00 EST and 20:00 GMT.

Match preview

It hasn't been a great week for six-time European champions Liverpool, losing 1-0 away to Galatasaray and following that with a 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Tottenham in the Premier League. The Reds were eliminated in the last 16 last season by eventual winners PSG. Now preparing for his 102nd match in charge, the pressure is mounting on Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

Galatasaray have already beaten a big name this season over two legs, eliminating Juventus 7-5 on aggregate in the knockout play-off. If they get past Liverpool here, they would make their first UCL quarter-final appearance since 2012-13.

The Turkish giants have won five successive matches across all competitions, the last three with clean sheets, so they'll travel with confidence. However, a record of only a single win in their last 14 European away days makes this a tough one to call.

Key stats & injury news

Liverpool has no new injury concerns, but Galatasaray will be without the suspended Davinson Sánchez. 

Victor Osimhen has 13 goal involvements in his last nine games (G6, A7). His assist in the first leg took him level with Nwankwo Kanu for the most UCL goal contributions by a Nigerian (17).

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Liverpool vs Galatasaray today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.
4. Start Streaming: Go to your broadcaster's website and app and enjoy the game.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
