Is the Chelsea final on TV?

TV channels broadcasting the Conference League final

• TNT Sports (UK) held the rights for the Conference League final (Chelsea FC (official club site)).
• CBS Sports broadcast the match in the United States (CBS/Paramount+ (official broadcaster)).
• In Ireland, the match was available exclusively on DAZN (DAZN (sports streaming platform)).

Streaming options for Chelsea vs Real Betis

• Paramount+ (US): live stream included (CBS/Paramount+).
• DAZN (Ireland): live stream and on-demand highlights (DAZN).
• BBC Sport website and app provided live text commentary and clips (BBC Sport (public service broadcaster)).

Watching the match in Ireland

• DAZN secured exclusive rights for the Conference League in Ireland (DAZN).
• Kick-off was 8pm UK time (9pm local in Wrocław) (Chelsea FC).

Bottom line: The final was broadcast across multiple premium platforms. Irish fans needed a DAZN subscription; UK fans used TNT Sports. No free live TV option existed in either market.

The implication: regional rights deals continue to fragment European final access – and the cost falls on the viewer.

What happens if Chelsea wins the Conference League?

Prize money

• UEFA awarded approximately €9.5 million to the Conference League winner (Wikipedia (tournament finance)).
• The runner-up received roughly €4.5 million (Wikipedia).

European qualification spots

• Winning the Conference League earns automatic qualification to the next season’s Europa League (UEFA (official competition page)).
• Chelsea had already secured a Europa League spot via league position, so the victory reinforced their European path (BBC Sport).

Historical significance

• Chelsea became the first club to win all three current UEFA club competitions: Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League (UEFA/YouTube (official highlights description)).
• Victory completed a set of five UEFA trophies for the club – a unique achievement in football (Chelsea FC).

The pattern: winning the third-tier competition may not carry the prestige of the Champions League, but it fills the only gap in Chelsea’s trophy cabinet – and it makes the Blues the first European club to claim that full set.

Has Real Betis ever won a trophy?

Real Betis trophy cabinet

• Real Betis have won the Copa del Rey twice: in 2005 and 2022 (Wikipedia (club honours)).
• Their only other major honours are two Segunda División titles (1932, 1942) and one Copa de la Liga (1986) (Wikipedia).

Most recent major trophy

• Real Betis won the 2022 Copa del Rey by beating Valencia on penalties (Wikipedia).

European finals history

• The 2025 Conference League final was Real Betis’ first European final (UEFA).
• They have never won a European competition (Wikipedia).

The trade-off: domestic cup success has not built a European habit. For Betis, the path from Copa del Rey winners to European finalists took three years – the next step, winning a European trophy, remains elusive.

Is Chelsea the only club to win all trophies?

List of Chelsea’s major trophies

• Premier League (6 titles), FA Cup (8), League Cup (5), Champions League (2), Europa League (2), Conference League (1), UEFA Super Cup (2), FIFA Club World Cup (1) (Wikipedia (Chelsea honours)).

The clean sweep: all European trophies

• Chelsea are the first club to win the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League (UEFA/YouTube).
• No other English club has achieved this – Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal each miss at least one of the three (Wikipedia (UEFA winners list)).

Comparison with other clubs

• Only four clubs have won all three current European competitions: Chelsea, Manchester United (missing Conference League), Juventus (missing Conference League), and Ajax (missing Conference League) – Chelsea is the only one to hold all three simultaneously (Wikipedia).

“Completing the set of five UEFA trophies is a unique achievement in football.”

Chelsea FC (official club site)

The implication: Chelsea’s clean sweep sets a new benchmark. No other club can claim a full house of European titles – and with the Conference League only in its fourth season, the opportunity to match it narrows each year.

What is the prediction for Chelsea vs Real Betis?

Head-to-head record

• Prior to the final, the two clubs had met once: a 2019 friendly in which Real Betis won 2-1 (UEFA (head-to-head record)).
• After the final, the head-to-head stands at one win each (ESPN).

Form guide

• Chelsea entered the final as favourites, having won 13 of their 15 Conference League matches (Wikipedia (season stats)).
• Real Betis had a strong European campaign but lost their last La Liga match before the final (BBC Sport).

Expert predictions and odds

• Pre-match odds from major bookmakers had Chelsea as clear favourites (approx. 1.40 vs 3.00) (MoneySavingExpert (odds comparison)).
• The actual result – a 4-1 Chelsea win – aligned with the betting favourite status (ESPN UK).

“Chelsea become the first team to complete a clean sweep of European club trophies.”

UEFA/YouTube (official highlights description)

The catch: favourites don’t always win – but when they do, the narrative is clear. Chelsea’s 4-1 victory was dominant, but the first-half deficit reminded everyone that football’s script can surprise before it follows the expected arc.

Timeline signal

• 28 May 2025, first half: Real Betis took a 1-0 lead through Abde Ezzalzouli in the 9th minute (ESPN (match timeline)).
• 28 May 2025, second half: Chelsea scored four goals to win 4-1: Enzo Fernández (65′), Nicolas Jackson (70′), Jadon Sancho (83′), Moisés Caicedo (90+1′) (ESPN).
• Full time: Chelsea crowned Conference League champions (UEFA).
• Post-match: Chelsea confirmed as first club to win all three European competitions (UEFA/YouTube).

For Chelsea supporters, the legacy is sealed: the club now sits alone among English football’s elite with a full set of European titles. For Real Betis, the lesson is starker – reaching a first European final is no guarantee of glory, but it builds a foundation for future attempts.
