Will the Europa League final 2025 be on YouTube?

However, that was not the case in 2024 due to BT Sport merging with discovery+ and Eurosport under the TNT Sports brand.
And instead of broadcasting the final for free on YouTube, the broadcaster opted to provide a free stream on their app, discovery+
It's unclear whether or not TNT Sports will broadcast the final across their YouTube channels or stick with making the huge match free to watch on discovery+, or simply not make it free to watch at all.

Crystal Palace hit out at Europa League ban: ‘merit is rendered meaningless'
Crystal Palace have called on Uefa to scrap its 'poorly conceived' rules on multi-club ownership (MCO) and questioned whether they received a fair hearing at the court of arbitration of sport after their appeal against demotion from the Europa League was rejected. Cas confirmed on Monday that it had upheld Uefa's decision to demote the FA Cup winners to the Conference League after it decided that John Textor held shares and had a decisive influence in Palace and Lyon, who also qualified for the Europa League. He has since sold his 43% stake in the south London club to his fellow US businessman Woody Johnson. Palace, who are expected to miss out on up to £20m in extra revenue as a result, confirmed in a strongly worded statement on Tuesday that they are would take up their place in the Conference League – in which they will face Norway's Fredrikstad or Midtjylland of Denmark in playoff this month – as they continue to take legal advice on whether to make a claim against Uefa for compensation. Palace described the decision to sanction them as evidence that 'sporting merit is rendered meaningless' and claimed that 'certain clubs, organisations and individuals have a unique privilege and power'. 'This growing and unhealthy influence has shattered the hopes and dreams of Crystal Palace supporters, and does not bode well for aspirational teams all over Europe competing to progress when rules and sanctions are unevenly applied in the most flagrant way,' read the statement. 'Multi-club structures hide behind the charade of a 'blind trust' while clubs such as ours, who have no connection to another club whatsoever, are prevented from playing in the same competition. To compound the injustice, clubs that appear to have huge informal arrangements with each other are also allowed to participate and even possibly play against each other.' Several clubs who are part of MCOs have been able to place their ownership in blind trusts to circumvent Uefa's regulations, although Palace missed Uefa's original 1 March deadline to do so. They are believed to have presented evidence to Cas that only members of the European Club Association (ECA) were informed that the deadline could be extended until 31 May. That argument was rejected by the Cas panel, which said that Uefa's regulations were clear 'and do not provide flexibility to clubs that are non-compliant on the assessment date'. The regulations were updated last year to allow clubs who are part of MCOs to compete in different Uefa competitions but Palace believe further changes are needed from European football's governing body. 'A combination of poorly conceived regulations and their unequal application means our brilliant fans will be deprived of the chance to watch this team compete in the Europa League for the first time in our history,' they said. 'This should be a turning point for football. Uefa must fulfil its mandate to pass coherent rules which are properly communicated and applied, with reasonable cure periods to resolve uncertainty and consistent sanctions, treating all clubs equally with a proper appeal process. 'The European court of justice has made it clear that rulings similar to this will be under greater scrutiny from national courts in future. Only then will fairness and due process be granted to every team.' Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Palace were also critical of their treatment at Cas, with frustration understood to stem from its refusal to consider what they believe was crucial evidence of correspondence between the ECA and some of its clubs over the extended deadline. 'While we respect the Cas tribunal members, the process is designed to severely restrict and, in our case, make it almost impossible to receive a fair hearing. The denial of all disclosure requests to obtain correspondence between the relevant parties, the refusal to allow witness testimony from those involved, and the general lack of formality and respect for law mean decisions cannot be properly challenged, leading to pre-determined outcomes.' Cas and Uefa have been contacted for comment.

Sporting merit rendered meaningless – Palace hit out at Europa League demotion
The FA Cup winners were demoted to the Conference League by European football's governing body UEFA on July 11 after it determined that, as of March 1, American businessman John Textor had control or influence at both Palace and French club Lyon. Palace appealed, but on Monday the CAS announced the London club had lost their appeal, with Nottingham Forest expected to take the place in UEFA's second-tier competition. At a time when we should be celebrating our victory in the Community Shield at Wembley, the decision by UEFA and followed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport shows that sporting merit is rendered meaningless. Full statement 👇#CPFC — Crystal Palace F.C. (@CPFC) August 12, 2025 A statement from the Eagles read: 'At a time when we should be celebrating our victory in the Community Shield at Wembley, the decision by UEFA and followed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport shows that sporting merit is rendered meaningless. 'When we won the FA Cup against Manchester City on that momentous day in May, our manager and players earned the right to play Europa League football. 'We have been denied that opportunity. 'It appears that certain clubs, organisations and individuals have a unique privilege and power. 'This growing and unhealthy influence has shattered the hopes and dreams of Crystal Palace supporters, and does not bode well for aspirational teams all over Europe competing to progress when rules and sanctions are unevenly applied in the most flagrant way.' UEFA and the CAS have been contacted for comment by the PA news agency. UEFA regulations state that where one or more clubs are found to have shared ownership, they cannot play in the same competition, and Lyon held on to the Europa League spot by virtue of their higher league position. Textor has since sold his shares to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, a purchase completed in late July. The Eagles' stance, as outlined in a July statement, was that 'it's clear for everyone to see that we are not part of a multi-club operation and never have been'. On Tuesday, Palace wrote in their statement: 'Multi-club structures hide behind the charade of a 'blind trust' while clubs such as ours, who have no connection to another club whatsoever, are prevented from playing in the same competition. 'To compound the injustice, clubs that appear to have huge informal arrangements with each other are also allowed to participate and even possibly play against each other. 'While we respect the CAS tribunal members, the process is designed to severely restrict and, in our case, make it almost impossible to receive a fair hearing. 'The denial of all disclosure requests to obtain correspondence between the relevant parties, the refusal to allow witness testimony from those involved, and the general lack of formality and respect for law mean decisions cannot be properly challenged, leading to pre-determined outcomes.' Palace have called for UEFA to consider both its regulations and the application of those rules. A post shared by Crystal Palace Football Club (@cpfc) The club statement concluded: 'UEFA's decision has wider implications for the governance of the sport. A combination of poorly conceived regulations and their unequal application means our brilliant fans will be deprived of the chance to watch this team compete in the Europa League for the first time in our history. 'This should be a turning point for football. 'UEFA must fulfil its mandate to pass coherent rules which are properly communicated and applied, with reasonable cure periods to resolve uncertainty and consistent sanctions, treating all clubs equally with a proper appeal process. 'The European Court of Justice has made it clear that rulings similar to this will be under greater scrutiny from national courts in future. Only then will fairness and due process be granted to every team. 'Although we continue to take legal advice on the next steps, we will compete in the Conference League with the same determination and will to win that characterises this incredible club.' A full CAS explanation, with grounds, will be published in due course unless parties request confidentiality. The CAS statement on Monday explained: 'After considering the evidence, the panel found that John Textor, founder of Eagle Football Holdings, had shares in CPFC and OL and was a board member with decisive influence over both clubs at the time of UEFA's assessment date. 'The panel also dismissed the argument by CPFC that they received unfair treatment in comparison to Nottingham Forest and OL. The panel considered that the UEFA regulations are clear and do not provide flexibility to clubs that are non-compliant on the assessment date, as CPFC claimed.'

Crystal Palace launch attack on Uefa and call ownership rules a ‘charade'
Crystal Palace have launched a furious attack on Uefa after losing their appeal against being excluded from the Europa League. Palace claimed Uefa's rules allowing clubs with the same owners to set up blind trusts to play in the same European competition are 'a charade', that certain clubs are favoured, and that it was 'almost impossible to receive a fair hearing'. As first revealed by The Times, the FA Cup winners will have to compete in the Conference League instead after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld a Uefa ruling that Palace had not put arrangements in place before a March 1 deadline to comply with multi-club ownership restrictions. Nottingham Forest will now play in the Europa League. Palace won the Community Shield by beating Liverpool in a penalty shoot-out at Wembley on Sunday and begin their Premier League season on Sunday, away against Chelsea. Their first European fixture will be in the Conference League play-off round on August 21, when they will play either Danish side Midtjylland or Norwegians Fredrikstad. 'At a time when we should be celebrating our victory in the Community Shield at Wembley, the decision by Uefa and followed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport shows that sporting merit is rendered meaningless,' a statement from Palace read. 'When we won the FA Cup against Manchester City on that momentous day in May, our manager and players earned the right to play Europa League football. We have been denied that opportunity. It appears that certain clubs, organisations and individuals have a unique privilege and power. 'This growing and unhealthy influence has shattered the hopes and dreams of Crystal Palace supporters, and does not bode well for aspirational teams all over Europe competing to progress when rules and sanctions are unevenly applied in the most flagrant way.' Last season both Manchester City and their Spanish sister club, Girona, and Manchester United and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's French club, Nice, were allowed to compete in the same European competition. Blind trusts were set up for Girona and Nice, with club directors linked to City and United respectively stepping down from the boards. 'Multi-club structures hide behind the charade of a 'blind trust' while clubs such as ours, who have no connection to another club whatsoever, are prevented from playing in the same competition,' the Palace statement continued. 'While we respect the CAS tribunal members, the process is designed to severely restrict and, in our case, make it almost impossible to receive a fair hearing. 'Uefa's decision has wider implications for the governance of the sport. This should be a turning point for football. Uefa must fulfil its mandate to pass coherent rules which are properly communicated and applied, with reasonable cure periods to resolve uncertainty and consistent sanctions, treating all clubs equally with a proper appeal process.'
