How to watch Besiktas vs Eintracht Frankfurt Europa League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Both Besiktas and Eintracht Frankfurt will be aiming to secure their first victories in the revamped League Phase of the Europa League when they clash on Thursday night.

The Black Eagles have been strong domestically, remaining unbeaten in Turkey and netting eight goals against Lugano to earn their spot in this stage. However, their recent European campaign left much to be desired, as they suffered defeats in all three of their home matches during last season’s ECL.

As for Eintracht Frankfurt, they come into the game riding a five-match unbeaten streak. Last week's unexpected setback against Plzen raised some eyebrows, but the Germans fielded a notably altered lineup, possibly underestimating their Czech opponents.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
