How to watch today's Borussia Dortmund vs Sporting Champions League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Last season's UEFA Champions League runners-up, Borussia Dortmund, have a golden opportunity to salvage their campaign with another deep run in Europe as they prepare to take on a Sporting CP side still reeling from last week’s drubbing.

Despite their impressive journey to the Champions League final last term, Dortmund struggled to make an impact in the Bundesliga—a pattern that has persisted this season, even with Niko Kovač now at the helm after replacing Nuri Şahin.

They delivered a stunning yet emphatic 3-0 thrashing of Sporting CP at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in the first leg last weekend. However, their momentum took a hit as they endured an equally, if not even more, humbling defeat against a struggling Bochum side in the league just days later.

Sporting were left battered and bruised following their 3-0 defeat to Dortmund in Lisbon, where second-half goals from Serhou Guirassy, Pascal Groß, and Karim Adeyemi all but sealed their fate in a competition they had high hopes of making a deep run in.
