Olympique Lyonnais journeys to Prague this Tuesday to confront Sparta Prague in the initial leg of their UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. All essential broadcast information for this pivotal match is detailed below.
Last season, Olympique Lyonnais secured a commendable fourth-place finish in Ligue 1, a result that earned them a spot in the UEFA Champions League preliminary rounds. The French club now faces the challenge of navigating two qualifying stages to reach the prestigious group phase, an achievement they haven’t celebrated since 2020. This path presents a significant hurdle, especially considering their somewhat inconsistent pre-season form, which included a notable 4-0 defeat against Real Betis in their most recent friendly encounter.
Meanwhile, Sparta Prague has already commenced their domestic campaign, with two fixtures completed in the Chance Liga. The Czech side, who finished as vice-champions behind their rivals Slavia last season, has experienced a mixed start to the current term, recording one loss (1-3 against Brno) and one victory (3-1 over Zlin). Under the guidance of coach Brian Priske, the Prague-based team previously showcased their European pedigree in the 2025-2026 season, successfully advancing to the Champions League group stage after overcoming Shamrock Rovers, Steaua Bucharest, and Malmö.
