Champions League Betting

At Betway, you’ll find a vast range of Champions League betting markets, each offering the best possible odds.

Key to our ability to offer value through our Champions League odds is the team of expert traders we employ to monitor markets 24/7 and ensure that the odds available to you are as competitive as can be. A vast array of markets is available for every game, from traditional bets like Match Winner and Correct score, through Win/Draw/Win and into Handicap and Combo selections.

However you foresee the action unfolding, you’ll find Champions League odds to meet your needs.

The first edition of the European Cup in 1955 saw champions of the previous season, in 16 of the continent’s top leagues, competing in a straight knockout format, with Real Madrid claiming the first of their record haul of 15 Champions League titles to date.

A format change in 1991 saw the introduction of the preliminary group stages through which each edition of the tournament began in earnest, while 1993 brought the tournament the moniker we know it by today: The Champions League. Most recently the 2024/25 season saw the addition of the league phase, replacing the group stages, and increased the size to 36 teams which leaves us with the format we have today.

From the earliest preliminary qualifiers in late June, to the glittering final the following May, you can rest assured that Betway will be bringing you the very best of the Champions League every step of the way.

How to read Champions League odds

For standard Champions league bets, the odds are represented by fractions that show each possible outcome of the match. Fractional odds show us the potential winnings you can make in relation to how much you bet. The number on the left side of the fraction shows the potential profit if you bet the number on the right side. For example, if you place a £1 bet at 4/1 odds, it will return £5 if it is successful. Of those returns, £4 is profit and the remaining £1 is the bettor’s stake.

What are the best Champions League betting markets?

No matter what sort of bettor you are, at Betway, we have a betting market just for you. You can find all the most popular Champions League betting markets - and so much more - for every match in the competition, including the qualifying rounds. Here's a breakdown of some of the most popular markets you'll find for every Champions League match:

Match Result

The Match Result market is the simplest option. You predict the outcome after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. This market is also known as 1X2, with 1 signifying a home win, X for a draw, or 2 for an away win. Extra time and penalties do not count.

Correct Score

Correct Score requires selecting the exact final scoreline at full time, such as 2-1 or 1-1. This market is very specific, making it harder to land, but it reflects precise expectations of how a Champions League match might unfold.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS)

BTTS focuses only on whether both teams score will at least one goal during normal time in a match. You simply choose Yes or No, regardless of the final result. You can also find BTTS markets covering each half.

Over/Under Goals

The Over/Under Goals market is based on total goals scored, commonly set at lines such as 2.5 goals. Over means three or more goals are scored; Under means two or fewer.

Handicap Markets

Handicap markets give one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage to balance mismatches. This can be expressed as Asian or European handicaps, adjusting the score before settlement.

Champions League Outright & Qualification Odds

If you want a more long-term betting opportunity, you can place a Champions League outright bet. Outright markets cover more than one match, and are typically focused on the outcom of the entire tournament. 

If you want to bet on outrights in the Champions League, from match winner to tournament winner, and top goalscorer to top assister, our coverage lets you do it all!
