What channel is Arsenal vs Shakhtar on with TNT not showing Champions League clash?

Arsenal will look to raise their knocked spirits in the Champions League, but some viewers may have some trouble looking for the right channel to watch the game

Mikel Arteta's wounded Arsenal side will look to take out their frustration on Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

The Gunners suffered their first loss of the campaign when they were beaten 2-0 by Bournemouth in the Premier League. A third red card in six matches saw the north Londoners make things harder than they needed to be once again.

They also cannot afford to drop any more points in the Champions League, as the north Londoners are level on points with eighth placed Manchester City. Arsenal supporters and other rivals will be keen to see how Arteta's side will fare against the Ukrainian giants.

Their campaign began with a disappointing 0-0 away draw against Atalanta, but they came roaring back with a statement 2-0 home victory over Paris Saint-Germain. However, things have been made difficult for the Gunners ever since.

They will still be without club captain Martin Odegaard, who suffered an ankle ligament injury while playing for Norway in the September international break.

They are also sweating on the fitness of Bukayo Saka, who limped off during England's home loss to Greece. Saka was forced to miss the recent loss to Bournemouth on the south coast. He was not part of open training for the north Londoners on Monday. Jurrien Timber was also an absentee from the session.

Considering the absence of many big name players and their recent loss, all eyes will be on Arsenal's performance in north London. However, those who want to tune into their clash at the Emirates Stadium will need to focus their eyes on a different channel.

Why is Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk not on TNT Sports?

Fans know TNT Sports as the place to watch all European football. For 10 years, the channel, which used to be BT Sports, have owned the broadcasting rights for the Champions League, the Europa League and the Europa Conference League.

While they will show 184 of the 201 matches this season, the rest of the games will be on Amazon Prime. The latter will be broadcasting every 'Top Tuesday' match for the next three seasons. Those who want to see the highlights of the game could also tune into the BBC's highlights show which takes place on Wednesday evenings or on BBC iPlayer.

Amazon Prime also occasionally broadcasts Premier League football. They will show 20 Premier League matches this season from the early December midweek match-week and the Boxing Day match-week.
