How to view the UEFA Conference League final featuring Chelsea and Real Betis on TNT Sports and discovery+, including live streaming details and start time.
Chelsea will be aiming to make history as they seek to become the first team to win all three European competitions when they face Real Betis in the UEFA Conference League final in Poland.
The Blues have already claimed both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League titles on two occasions each, and they will be looking to complete the set on Wednesday with a victory in Europe’s third-tier competition.
Enzo Maresca’s side will be buoyed by their recent success, having secured Champions League football for next season following a narrow 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. This victory ensured a fourth-placed finish in the Premier League, rounding off a strong end to their domestic campaign with five wins in their last six league matches.
Chelsea’s form in the Conference League has been equally impressive, with the team winning 11 of the 12 matches they have played in the competition this season. However, the final presents a significant challenge, as they prepare to take on Betis and their manager, Manuel Pellegrini, who Maresca affectionately refers to as his “professional dad.”
Despite facing the sixth-best team in Spain, Maresca expressed his excitement about the matchup, stating he is “especially happy” to go up against Betis, having previously played under Pellegrini at Malaga and worked alongside him at West Ham United.
Betis have been revitalised by the January loan signing of Antony from Manchester United, with the winger netting nine goals since his arrival, including strikes in both legs of their semi-final against Fiorentina. However, their form in La Liga has dipped ahead of the final, as they failed to win any of their last four matches in the league.
The Conference League final is set to kick off at 8pm UK time on Wednesday, May 28. Coverage will begin at 6:30pm on TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports Ultimate, and discovery+, live from Stadion Wroclaw in Wroclaw, Poland.

Maresca has voiced his displeasure regarding Betis’ preparations for the final, stating he is “not happy” that they have been granted an extra two days to prepare. La Liga allowed Betis to move their final match against Valencia from Sunday to Friday, which has raised concerns for the Chelsea manager.
He remarked, “I’m not happy, 100%. You cannot allow another team 48 hours more when you play a European final. Either we play Friday or they play Sunday like us. I don’t know if it is from La Liga, the Premier League, or UEFA, but if you ask people in this room if it is normal to play a final where another team has 48 hours more to prepare, it is not normal.”
