The Champions League is ready to return to the spotlight, and Prime Video has already revealed some of the key matches that will be broadcast exclusively during the League Phase.

The match kicks off on Wednesday, September 9th, with Napoli taking on Arsenal at the Maradona Stadium. The live broadcast on Prime Video will begin at 7:30 PM, with kick-off scheduled for 9 PM. The Gunners enter the match with the prestige of being finalists in the last edition of the competition, which ended with a penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the final in Budapest.
There's also great anticipation for Roma vs. Real Madrid, scheduled for Wednesday, October 14. The Olimpico will host a highly emotional match for José Mourinho, who will return to the Roman stadium this time as an opponent, leading the Blancos.
On Matchday 3, Wednesday, October 21st, Inter will take on Shakhtar Donetsk at San Siro. This is a fixture steeped in European tradition for the Nerazzurri, who will be looking to confirm their continental ambitions.
Napoli will then return to action on November 4th, this time away against Porto. The Azzurri will play at the Estádio do Dragão in a particularly fascinating match against a team with a long international tradition.
Roma's schedule promises another fiery night on November 25th, when Gian Piero Gasperini's team will fly to Paris to face Paris Saint-Germain. The French side are tipped as the reigning European champions and will be led by Luis Enrique, former Roma coach.
On December 9th, Inter will face Borussia Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion. It will be an exciting away match for the Nerazzurri, awaited by the famous "Yellow Wall."
