Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal tonight:
Kick-off time: The match is scheduled to start at 8pm tonight, the traditional slot for Champions League evening matches. For those in Madrid for the match, that equates to 9pm local time.
Match location: The encounter will take place at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, the stadium which Atletico Madrid have called home since 2017. Known for its intense and intimidating environment, the stadium will be packed with home fans looking to give their team a crucial advantage before the return leg in London and attracted an attendance of more than 69,000 in the quarter-finals.
UK TV channel: Exclusive live coverage of the game will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate for viewers in the United Kingdom. The broadcast is scheduled to begin exactly at 7pm, giving fans an hour of expert build-up and analysis before the action commences.
UK live stream: Following the recent platform migration, fans must now stream the match live through the HBO Max app or website rather than discovery+. This new streaming home for TNT Sports requires you to sign in with your existing credentials, though Virgin TV customers can still access the feed via the Virgin TV Go app as an alternative.
United States coverage: For viewers in the US, the game will be broadcast live on CBS and can be streamed via Paramount+, with kick-off taking place at 3pm ET. Spanish-language coverage is available through TUDN and Univision.
UK radio coverage: If you are unable to get in front of a screen, you can listen to full live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live. Their dedicated pre-match show is set to begin at 7pm, featuring interviews and tactical breakdowns before full match commentary from the 8pm kick-off.
Arsenal team news: The Gunners are bolstered by the recent return of Eberechi Eze, who is available despite being forced off after scoring the winner against Newcastle at the weekend. However, Mikel Arteta lost Kai Havertz to injury in that game and is also likely to remain without Mikel Merino and Jurrien Timber.
Atletico team news: Diego Simeone's squad is boosted by the form of Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth, both of whom were instrumental in their recent 3-2 victory over Athletic Club. Ademola Lookman is also available despite an injury scare but Pablo Barrios will miss both legs with a hamstring injury.
Head-to-head record: The recent history between these two sides is perfectly balanced with one win each and one draw in their last three competitive meetings. While Arsenal secured a dominant 4-0 win earlier this season in the league phase, Atletico famously knocked the Gunners out of the Europa League in 2018.
