Facebook to livestream Champions League football games

Facebook will broadcast Champions League matches for American internet users under a deal with Fox Sports, which will host the livestreams on its pages, the channel said Tuesday.

The partnership will involve two group matches per day, four round of sixteen games and the four quarter-finals of the 2017-18 season, in the social media giant's latest foray into sports casting. Facebook will act only as a host for the streams, with the images and content produced by Fox Sports.
