As part of a new initiative and move into a more accessible streaming space, Optus will be streaming a select few Champions League and Europa League matches to the masses through YouTube & Twitter. The initiative will see 10 games streamed between February and April, starting with the Tottenham v Dortmund match on the 14th of February at 7am AEDT.

Olly Wilton, Twitter Australia Head of Sports Partnerships says that “Football is one of the biggest drivers of conversation on Twitter in Australia, so we’re excited to collaborate with Optus Sport to bring these live matches … to Twitter”
