The 2019 UEFA Champions League final was watched by 11.3 million fans across all platforms, resulting in the highest ever audience for BT Sport. The viewership of the fixture between Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur was a third higher than last year's final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, which pulled in 8.5 million people. The increased number was largely a consequence of BT's decision to offer the game free to view on its app, website and YouTube channel. "We are delighted that our customers have enjoyed watching this match so much over the past few years," said Richard Lewis, chief executive of BT’s UK sports business.
