Who are FIFA 21's Champions League commentators?

As has been the case for the past iterations of the game, the Champions League commentators for FIFA 21 will once again be Lee Dixon and Derek Rae.

They will be a commentary team unique to the Champions League, with mainstays Martin Tyler and Alan Smith reprising their roles as in-game voices for regular game play.

"We want our players to feel like they’re truly front and centre in the Champions League experience," EA Sports executive producer Aaron McHardy told FourFourTwo ahead of the release of FIFA 19.

"We’re bringing unique atmospheres that look and feel like the real thing: overlay packages, match balls, Champions League badges on kits, the archway you walk through, the branding around the stadium. Authenticity is extremely important when bringing these iconic tournaments to life."

Champions League theme song in FIFA 21

Like in previous editions, the Champions League theme song is a remix of the official anthem composed by Hans Zimmer.

FIFA 21 will have their Champions League final set at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, which is also the setting of the real life event.

The Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, was supposed to host the 2020 final. However, due to complications from the spread of Covid-19, it will instead host the 2021 showpiece.
