From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This season’s Women’s Champions League final will be shown live on free-to-air TV, with ITV set to broadcast the showpiece game.
Defending champions Barcelona go up against Lyon, the most successful club in the competition’s history, on Saturday 21 May.
And the biggest game in women’s club football will be accessible to a wide audience as ITV airs the match on ITV 4 and the ITV Hub.
The fixture will kick off at 6pm BST, with coverage beginning at 5.30pm BST.
The news comes after British broadcaster ITV struck a deal with subscription streaming service DAZN, which holds the rights to the Women’s Champions League.
DAZN will naturally still be streaming Saturday’s game, which takes place at Juventus’ stadium in Turin, and the fixture will also be available to watch live on YouTube in the UK.
In last season’s final, Barcelona defeated Chelsea 4-0. Prior to that, Lyon won five straight finals, beating Barcelona 4-1 in the 2019 edition of the fixture.
