Champions League Matchday 6 on Dec. 8-9, 2026: Every Kickoff in ET

Champions League matchday 6 is Tuesday, Dec. 8, and Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2026, with 18 games at 12:45 p.m. or 3 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), according to the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). That is 9:45 a.m. or noon Pacific Time (PT). Arsenal host Real Madrid on Dec. 9, and Barcelona host Manchester City on Dec. 8, both at 3 p.m. ET.

UEFA’s fixtures page, last updated Nov. 4, 2026, says “Kick-offs are 21:00 unless stated; all times CET.” Central European Time (CET) is the only zone it gives, so the table converts every game to ET, PT and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). December has no daylight saving time in the U.S. or UK, so the gaps are fixed: ET is 6 hours behind CET and GMT is 1 hour behind.

Two early slots. Four games start at 18:45 CET, which is 12:45 p.m. ET and 9:45 a.m. PT: Viking v Feyenoord and Villarreal v Sabah on Dec. 8, and Real Betis v Como and Slovan Bratislava v Shakhtar Donetsk on Dec. 9. The other 14 are at 21:00 CET, 3 p.m. ET.

Which channel shows the Champions League on Dec. 8 and 9?

In the U.S., CBS Sports reported on Aug. 19, 2022, a six-year deal under which CBS and Paramount are the UEFA club competitions’ U.S. home through 2029-30. We did not find an official 2026-27 broadcaster page, so which matchday 6 game is on which channel is not announced here. In the UK, check your provider’s listings.

Is there a printable Champions League matchday 6 sheet?

Yes. The one-page watch guide lists all 18 games with ET, PT and GMT kickoffs and a pick column. Pin it beside the December 2026 printable calendar or a printable weekly calendar.
