The UEFA Champions League final airs on Saturday, May 29th, at 3 PM EST, live from Porto, Portugal.

The top dogs in England’s Premier League, Manchester City, enter as favorites in the match at -114 odds (according to William Hill Sportsbook.) Chelsea enters as larger underdogs than expected at +340. While favorites, this match marks Man City’s first-ever appearance in a Champions League Final, while this will be Chelsea’s third total appearance.
The Blues won their last appearance in the Final in 2012, defeating German club Bayern Munich in penalties, while they lost their first-ever appearance to Manchester United in the aforementioned 2008 Final. Both teams’ leadership is also seasoned, as this marks Thomas Tuchel’s second straight Champions League Finals appearance, after guiding Paris Saint-Germain to a loss last year to Bayern Munich. Man City manager Pep Guardiola has won two Champions League titles in his past while managing FC Barcelona.
For soccer as a whole, this is a great opportunity to capitalize on a major platform, thanks to CBS’s focus on soccer during the past few years. CBS is now the American broadcasting home of not just the UEFA Champions League, but Italy's Serie A, EuropaLeague, Europa Conference League, NWSL, Concacaf, Brazil’s Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and Argentina’s Liga Profesional de Futbol as well.
