Footy Fix: With World Cup field finalized, attention turns to Women's Champions League action
Published on Thursday, 2 April 2026 at 7:30 am
With all 48 berths for the 2026 World Cup now locked in, the global game pivots swiftly to the sharp end of the European women’s club calendar. Italy’s third straight failure to qualify headlines the post-qualifying fallout, but the spotlight Thursday belongs to the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals, where four heavyweight ties promise drama across two days.
Wednesday’s double bill opens at 12:45 p.m. ET as Bayern Munich host Manchester United in the first of two all-English encounters. Chelsea and Arsenal follow at 3 p.m. in a London derby relocated to European competition, both matches live on Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network.
Thursday’s menu is no less enticing. Barcelona meet Real Madrid at 12:45 p.m. in the latest installment of El Clásico femenino, while eight-time champions Lyon welcome German giants Wolfsburg at 3 p.m. to round out the quarter-final first legs.
Fans can stay plugged in throughout the week via Golazo Network’s daily offerings. Morning Footy airs weekdays from 8-10 a.m. ET with highlights and interviews, also available in podcast form.
