Champions League betting odds
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.

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.

Key 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 outcome 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!
Champions League tournament winner
If you're looking to stay ahead of the latest Champions League outright winner odds, Betway provides live market updates throughout the tournament so you can track every major contender from the group stage through to the final.
Europe's biggest clubs will once again battle for continental glory, with every result, injury and standout performance impacting the outright market. Whether you're backing current champions Paris Saint-Germain to retain the title or searching for value in an emerging contender, our Champions League winner odds are updated regularly to reflect the latest developments.
Outright betting allows you to predict which team will lift the trophy at the end of the competition. For example, a £10 stake on a team priced at 5/1 would return £60 (£50 profit plus your £10 stake) if they go on to become Champions League winners. Alternatively, a £20 bet at 10/1 would return £220 (£200 profit plus stake).
Champions League Final odds
Champions League Final odds and markets are typically available well in advance of kick-off and can include match result, winner, goals markets and player specials.
For example, if a team is priced at 2/1 to win the final, the implied probability is 33.3%. A team available at 1/1 (Evens) has an implied probability of 50%, while odds of 4/1 suggest a 20% chance of victory. These probabilities can help bettors compare the market's expectations with their own assessment of each team's chances.
Keep an eye on the latest Champions League final odds as prices can fluctuate based on team news, form, injuries and betting activity in the build-up to the final.
There are plenty of opportunities to find value in the Champions League outright winner market. Explore the latest odds and back your selection online or through the Betway app.
