In the 2015-2016 season, two Russian clubs will take part in the main club football tournament of the Old World. A place in the group stage of the tournament was automatically received only by the club from St. Petersburg "Zenith". CSKA Moscow starts fighting in the tournament at an earlier stage - in a two-legged confrontation in the third qualifying stage of the Champions League.
Leonid Slutsky's charges have already played the first match of the third qualifying round of the 2015-2016 Champions League. The game took place in Moscow at the Khimki arena. The Moscow army team hosted the Prague “Sparta”. The result of the first meeting cannot be called satisfactory - CSKA was unable to win, having played an effective draw at home (2-2).
The decisive return meeting will take place in Prague very soon - on August 5th. Given the fact that only a few fans of the Russian club will be able to see the match at the stadium, the question of where else it will be possible to watch the match is very relevant.
Over the past several seasons, Russian football fans have been spoiled by regular broadcasts of the Champions League on the federal channel NTV, as well as the network of sports channels NTV Plus. However, this season, the situation with showing matches of the Champions League on NTV and NTV plus has worsened to the extent that the above companies have expired their rights to broadcast the main club football matches of the Champions League. Therefore, it is worth warning viewers that on NTV and NTV Plus it will be impossible to see the return match "Sparta" - CSKA. In such a situation, one question remains - on which channel will it be possible to watch the broadcast of this match?
The broadcast from Prague will be shown live on the Russia-2 TV channel. This became known recently from the media. Thus, another federal channel found an opportunity not to leave CSKA fans without the opportunity to support their favorite club on TV screens. The broadcast is scheduled to begin on August 5th. The broadcasting starts at 19-40 Moscow time.
