Arsenal vs. PSG kick off the Champions League semi-finals: date, time, and where to watch

The Champions League resumes with the first leg of the semi-finals, with the first match between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, April 29 at the Emirates Stadium in London. This will be their first knockout stage match.

Both teams arrive with the hopes of lifting the trophy after defeating opponents who started the season as favorites. However, before looking ahead to the final in Munich on May 31, they must overcome a 180-minute knockout round, or longer if necessary. In the event of a tie on aggregate, the series will go to extra time, and if the tie persists, to a penalty shootout. An away goal will not be used to break the tie.

The first leg between Arsenal and PSG is scheduled for 1:00 PM (Central Mexico time) at the Emirates Stadium, which seats 60,704. The match will be broadcast on TNT on the pay-TV channels Izzi (channels 610 and 912), Sky (415 and 1415), Dish (370 and 870), Star TV (415), Megacable (410 and 1410), and TotalPlay (435). It will also be available on streaming platforms such as Max, IzziGo, and Sky+.

To date, Arsenal and PSG have only met three times in Champions League history, all in the group stage. One of those meetings came this season, when the English side won 2-0 in London. Now, Mikel Arteta's team will look to continue their quest for their first European title, after eliminating reigning champions Real Madrid in the quarterfinals and returning to the semifinals after 15 years.

For their part, Luis Enrique's PSG will try to eliminate an English team for the third consecutive round, after defeating Liverpool and Aston Villa. With a revamped squad following the end of the eras of Kylian Mbappé, Neymar, and Lionel Messi, the Parisian side is banking on a young generation that aims to win the club's first continental title.

Luis Enrique stated before the match that he isn't promising titles, but rather total commitment: "We're going to fight until the last minute of the game," the Spanish manager assured. The first match between Arsenal and PSG will mark the beginning of the final stretch in the fight for the European crown.
