Overview
- Kickoff is Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 3:00 p.m. ET at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon.
- In the United States, the match is on CBS Sports Network, with Fubo, DirecTV Stream, ViX and Paramount+ offering streaming options.
- In India, the telecast is listed on Sony Sports Network with streaming on Sony LIV, as reported by Republic World.
- Leverkusen enter with two points from three group games and Benfica have zero, raising the stakes for both teams’ knockout prospects.
- Jose Mourinho manages Benfica, while Newsweek reports Leverkusen are led by Kasper Hjulmand and will be without suspended Robert Andrich and injured Lucas Vázquez, Nathan Tella and Malik Tillman, with Benfica monitoring Bruma and Amar Dedic, and a separate outlet’s claim about Erik ten Hag conflicts with that reporting.
