As European football’s top club competition, Champions League betting sites are naturally extremely popular. Originally called the European Champions Clubs’ Cup, the competition commenced in 1955 and was won in its first five seasons by Spanish giants Real Madrid. In 1991 it expanded into the UEFA Champions League so that clubs beyond domestic champions were able to compete in it. This page will tell you all you need to know about the best Champions League betting sites that are available in the UK.

The Best Champions League Betting Sites in the UK

Here is a quick rundown of what we think to be the best Champions League betting sites available to sports bettors in the UK, and one reason why we think they number among the best.

1. BetUK – Our number one choice for Champions League Betting
2. Spreadex – Get into Champions League spread betting
3. 888sport – Number one Champions League betting app
4. Betfred – Long-established name and one of the best
5. Betway – Sponsors West Ham (who will never been in the Champions League)
6. BoyleSports – Number one Champions League Betting site in Ireland
7. 10bet – Boost your Champions League accas
8. Kwiff – User-freindly interface for Champions League betting

The Best Champions League Betting Sites in the UK

You’ve now had a brief introduction to the best betting sites in the UK for Champions League betting, but now it’s time to get to know at least half of them a little better. Here for you now are mini reviews of the top five best Champions League betting sites in the UK.

1. BetUK – Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets

Surprises do happen in the Champions League, such as Nottingham Forest winning it twice (okay, its previous incarnation as the European Champion Clubs’ Cup ) in 1979 and 1980, and you may be surprised to see BetUK topping our list of the best Champions League betting sites in the UK. If you look around this amazing site though, your surprise will diminish.

This is a fine site that is very, very easy to use. Just a few minutes on this site and you will be able to work out why we’ve gone for BetUK as our number one choice, and not one of the big boys. It has extensive coverage of the UEFA Champions league, including dozens of markets for every UCL game played. There are usually plenty of football betting offers here too, including that ‘bet £10, get £10’ deal for new customers. We are happy to hand our UCL vote of confidence to the BetUK online sports betting site.

2. SpreadEx – 2 x £5 Free Bets, Plus £300 in Cashback

If you really are a Champions League betting tips expert, then you’ll get more for your money spread betting. To put it simply, the ‘more right’ you are with your bet, the more money you will make. Conversely, the ‘more wrong’ you are with your wager, the more money you will lose. Fortunately, you can place ‘stop loss’ limits on your betting to stop you becoming skint too quickly if you’re a wagering dunderhead. There are only a few spread betting sites available in the UK, and SpreadEx is the number one by far.

Don’t worry if spread betting sounds a little too complicated as SpreadEx doubles as a fixed odds betting site as well. Every Champions League match is incredibly well covered, with all the expected markets available for all games. If you want to get into spread betting but are not sure about it, why not try fixed odds betting at SpreadEx first and see how you do?

3. 888sport – Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets

We’d like to give you 888 reasons why 888sport makes it onto our list of the best Champions League betting sites, but you’ll have to be content with just a handful. This company has been around since 2008, and have always been at the top of everything they do – sports betting, casino, poker and bingo, 888 do a little bit of everything, and everything very well.

Whenever we review an 888 site we always find ourselves inclined to give the 888sport betting app a mention. It really is exceptional and even if you don’t like betting apps eating up your valuable phone space, we suggest that you at least download it and give it a try. There’s no easier way to place your Champions League bets, and you’ll soon wonder how you ever placed bets without it!

4. Betfred – Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets

Good old Fred Done began his bookie business back in 1967, and he’s still going strong (nearing 80 at the time of this mini review) and his betting business is going strong too. He’s not done bad for himself either, amassing a personal fortune of £1.2 billlion! Fred Done loves a bit of football, and he and his site particularly love Champions League football (although a bit less though as his beloved Manchester United are no quite the UCL shoo-ins they used to be!).

The Betfred site is one of the best in the business and its Champions League coverage is absolutely top notch. All matches are covered and you can place bets on dozens of markets, including live markets. The site has a welcome bonus of course and we suggest you pop back when the latest round of UCL matches is taking place as some kind of special deal is bound to be available.

5. Betway – £30 Free Bet for 1st Football Acca Loses

Ever since its launch, Betway is still going strong thanks to its high-quality wagering options. Expect to wager on a ton of sports market including superb odds and lines on the Champions League. The sportsbook offers a great selection of bets and other options, such as in-play wagering on all major sports. Having the latter option on a cutting-edge sportsbook is a big plus when talking about the best Champions League betting sites UK.

On top of that, you can access in-season sports like basketball, football, hockey, tennis, NBA, UFC, NHL, NFL, the Premier League, as well as eSports and other niche options like darts, cricket, floorball, Gaelic sports, and more.

Sports betting fans will like it here, not just for its huge market and great odds but BetWay’s bonus and promotion offers are something to look into. New bettors can kickoff wagering with the bookie’s matched bet of up to £30 if their first bet is a loser. Even more, you’ll get offers for betting on eSports, free bets, parlays and odds boost. With that said, you want to stake that £10 to get in on the bag!

How to Select the Best Champions League Bookie

We’ve given you our choices for the best Champions League betting sites in the UK, but what if you’d prefer to go your own way? How do you decide what makes a good Champions League betting site, and which Champions League Betting sites are best avoided? Here are details of the criteria we use when deciding upon the best sites at which to place your Champions League bets, and we hope you find them useful.

Champions League Betting Odds

We’ve already mentioned that getting the best odds for your bets is absolutely crucial. The better the odds, the bigger the profits – it really is as simple as that! Here we have selected the five bookies we think offer the best odds for Champions League betting. We have also listed the top runners in the 2022/23 UCL Champions League race so you can see the Champions League winners betting odds available for each from all our top Champions League betting sites.

Popular Champions League Betting Markets

There are lots of betting markets for the Champions League, mainly as the Champions League is the most popular club competition in Europe (and not to say the world). Here’s a handy list of many of the most popular:

Champions League Outright Betting

You can start your UEFA Champions League betting in the most obvious way possible, and that’s by being right with your Champions League winner betting predictions! Remember to get your outright Champions League winner betting wagers on at the start of the season as that’s when you’ll get the most beneficial Champions League winners betting odds.

To Reach the Final

Kind of like an ‘each way’ bet in horse racing, you can ‘hedge’ your Champions League betting predictions by backing your selection to at least reach the final, or back a secondary team that at least reaches the final more often than most even if they don’t even win, such as Liverpool, Real Madrid or Chelsea.

Top Scorer

As an interesting side bet you can back the individual who will end the Champions League season with the most goals. We aren’t going to tell you who to back for the 2022/23, but if it’s not Erling Haaland, you might just be wasting your money!

David Petersen

Back an English Side to Reach the Final

English teams don’t always win the Champions League, but at least one of them always seems to make the final. Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have all reached the UCL final in the last few years. At the stand of the season, you can back up your UCL bets by betting that an English side will reach the final of that season’s competition.

1X2

The standard way of football betting is to back one of the two sides to win, or for the game to end in a draw. Remember that as with all cup finals, your bet will only count for the first 90 minutes, so extra time and penalties (when played) do not count.

BTTS

BTTS stands for Both Teams to Score and is a bet as to whether you think at least one side will keep a clean sheet (BTTS – yes) or not (BTTS – no). Again, this bet only counts for 90 minutes.

Over/Under (2.5)

A bet on any individual match on the amount of goals that will be scored in the game. You can actually bet on any over/under number of goals, but over/under 2.5 is the most common. Again, over 90 minutes only.

Champions League Draw Betting

At some sites you can even indulge in Champions League draw betting – predicting which teams will be drawn together either in a group or tie. As such draws are largely random, we advise you not to place your life savings on Champions League draw betting.

Champions League Final Betting

Naturally, hours and hours of Champions League football betting has to lead somewhere, and it leads to the eventual final which is the richest single club match in global football. The 2022/23 final will be played at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey and of course all of Europe’s elite football teams will be competing to see if they can make it all the way to the final.

For 2022/23 Champitons League final betting it is really difficult to see past Manchester City. With the signing of global superstar Erling Haaland City finally have the kind of top-class striker they’ve been lacking since Sergio Aguero left them, with the Norwegian wonder-forward already achieving a ‘goals per game’ average that’s well over one. City’s season depends upon Haaland remaining fit, although Julian Alvarez looks to be a very able, if different deputy.

Most money seems to be on PSG reaching the final alongside City. PSG continue to under-achieve despite now boasting the talents of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in their side, along with the (admittedly ageing) duo of Sergio Ramos and Leo Messi. With Christophe Galtier having now taken over from Mauricio Pochettino, could this finally be the season where the French team finally end their UCL drought, so why not back them as part of your Champions League final betting strategy?

Champions League Betting Predictions

Here are now our expert predictions for the 2022/23 season, including our betting on Champions League final tips. Which club captain do we think will be lifting the famous old trophy in Istanbul on the 10th of June, 2023?

Manchester City

Manchester City are the bookies favourites for the 2022/23 competition, but we are not so sure. True, City now have Erling Haaland spearheading their attack, but the Etihad Stadium residents never seem to make it to the final hurdle and when they did, they still lost (in 2021) to the lesser-talented Chelsea. We can’t see them even making it to the final.

Paris Saint-Germain

It seems bizarre that Paris Saint-Germain have never won the UCL, and that’s despite being funded by Qatari money. Despite the Mbappe-Neymar combo upfront, we can’t see this season ending in anything other than failure too. The latest PSG hotseat occupant is Christopher Galtier, and he has too little experience at this level.

Bet on Erling Haaland to be the 2022/23 top goalscorer

As the EPL are discovering, Erling Haaland may not be of planet Earth. The Norweigan wonder-striker could be the greatest goalscorer since Pele. Haaland already has 26 UCL goals (as the time of writing), which is only 1 less than Luis Suarez and 4 less than Wayne Rooney, and he’s only 22. If you’re not backing Erling to be the top UCL scorer this season, then what is wrong with you?

Liverpool

Liverpool have been the top English side in the UCL (and the European Cup) since the late 1970s, and we think they can reach the final again just like last year. The side are struggling to fill the void created by Sadio Mane’s departure, with Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez all failing to convince, but their European pedigree is so good we think they’ve enough about them to reach Istanbul in June.

Real Madrid

We’re going to be really boring here and declare that the 2022/23 final will be an exact repeat of the 2023/24 one, and with the same outcome. Every season the leading UCL-winners are discounted from further success and most seasons they still making it at least to the final. They started La Liga season with six wins, and we think any side with Carlos Ancelotti at the helm (except Everton) is a side to be reckoned with. If you’re betting on Champions League matches this season, we reckon Real Madrid could go all the way.

Chelsea

It came as no surprise when Thomas Tuchel was sacked at Chelsea manager in September 2022. Not because Tuchel had underachieved (he had won the UCL for Chelsea in 2021) but because Chelsea change their managers more often than most people change their bedsheets. Replacement Graham Potter has no European pedigree whatsover, so we feel Chelsea can be discounted completely for the 2023 UCL.

Bayern Munich

It must be boring being a Bayern Munich fan. The German side have just won their tenth succesive Bundesliga title, yet they’ve only won the UCL once during that time. Of course Bayern will win the Bundesliga again but the UCL is a different matter, especially as their talismatic striker Robert Lewandowski is now (somehow) playing for (reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy) Barcelona.
