Nice Vs Benfica Live Streaming, UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Qualifiers 3rd Round: Where To Watch 1st Leg

OGC Nice will take on Portuguese giants SL Benfica on Wednesday, 6 August 2025, in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 third-round qualifying fixture at Allianz Riviera. A first-leg victory at home will put Nice in an advantageous position, as the winner of the clash will take on the winner of Fenerbahce vs Feyenoord.

Nice ended last season in good form, winning 6-0 against Brest in their final French Ligue 1 match. The victory put them fourth in the points table and earned them a place in the Champions League qualifiers.

The French side have a chance to make history as they are chasing their first UCL group stage appearance in over six decades, last appearing in the tournament in 1959-60 when they made a run to the quarter-finals.

Nice had a disastrous continental tournament last season, earning just one point from eight UEFA Europa League group-stage games and ranking 35th in the phase. Veteran skipper Dante has emphasised the “dream” of playing in the Champions League, but Franck Haise’s side must first overcome Benfica.

SL Benfica will enter the tournament on the back of a mixed domestic campaign. The Eagles won the Portuguese Super Cup against Sporting CP, with Vangelis Pavlidis scoring five minutes into the second half. However, they could only manage a runners-up spot in the league behind Sporting, and also exited the UEFA Champions League in the Round of 16 stage against FC Barcelona.

With new signings like Amar Dedic and Franjo Ivanovic, Bruno Lage’s side will be favourites in the upcoming clash despite playing away from home.
