UEFA Women's Champions League 2025: Twente vs Chelsea – Where to Watch and Expert Commentary Line-Up
The eagerly anticipated UEFA Women's Champions League clash between FC Twente and Chelsea takes place on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, with kickoff at 17:45 UK time. This exciting Group B fixture is set to showcase Chelsea's quest for their first European title as they face a confident Twente side in Enschede.
In the United Kingdom, fans can access the match live on Disney+ UK & Ireland, which holds part of the streaming rights for the competition. Coverage will feature a high-profile presenting and commentary team, led by the well-known Alex Scott, who serves as the presenter. Alex Scott, born in 1984, is a former England international footballer and has become one of the most respected voices and presenters in women’s football broadcasting. She is supported by the expert commentary and analysis team of Jacqui Oatley (main commentator), former England player and pundit Lianne Sanderson (co-commentator), and Fara Williams (pundit), who is England’s all-time top scorer in women’s international football.
Besides the UK, Disney+ holds broadcasting rights in multiple key European and global territories including Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, Africa, New Zealand, and the Caribbean. In these regions, the same experienced broadcast team ensures consistent, expert coverage. This highlights the increasing investment and interest in women’s football globally.
Meanwhile, viewers in various Asian countries including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand can watch on beIN Sports channels. However, these channels will utilise world feed commentators, with the main commentator being Ben Andrews. This world feed approach provides an internationally consistent commentary experience where local expert teams are not available.
For the US audience, Paramount+ is streaming the match, featuring presenter Hannah Cash alongside a panel of distinguished pundits including Darian Jenkins, Janelly Farias, and Kelley O'Hara, all former US internationals with significant experience in women’s football, adding depth to the analysis.
Additionally, the match is available online via UEFA.tv using the world feed commentary, catering to viewers who prefer digital platforms or reside in areas without dedicated broadcasters.
About the Match
This fixture pits Chelsea, under the management of Sonia Bompastor, against Twente, who currently lead the Eredivisie with an unbeaten start to their season. Chelsea impressed last season by winning the Women’s Super League without defeat and claim a domestic treble, though a UEFA Women’s Champions League title still eludes them. Their campaign for European glory begins with Twente, a team that also marked its first-ever group stage appearance recently, aiming to upset the English champions.
Historically, Chelsea have dominated Dutch opposition, boasting a record of three wins and one draw in previous European fixtures. In fact, Chelsea defeated Twente twice last season in Group B, including a 6-1 thumping at Stamford Bridge with goals from key players such as Catarina Macario, Erin Cuthbert, and Sjoeke Nüsken. Twente have shown competitive spirit and have previously reached the round of 16 in the competition, though they face a tough challenge against a Chelsea squad determined to maintain their perfect group record.
