Champions League Betting Offers & Enhanced Odds

You can be 100% certain that there will be several Champions League Betting Offers and Enhanced Odds available throughout the tournament on every game.

Many of the major bookmakers will be looking to attract new customers by offering hugely inflated odds on the bigger games in particular.

Enhanced Odds are one of the most popular Champions League Free Bets available, and you could get some very attractive prices.


Three Easy Steps To Get Champions League Free Bets

1. Choose a free bet; take a look at our extensive list of free bets, check the main conditions for wagering requirements and click ‘CLAIM IT NOW when you see an offer you like.

2. Register with the online bookmaker; complete the online registration form and enter the promotion code where appropriate, you’ll need to declare your payment details, so have them handy. You must be able to trust your bookmaker with your financial details - Freebets.com only promotes reputable bookmakers, and you can read our reviews in the Bookmakers section

3. Deposit some funds and place a bet; in most instances, you can deposit as little as £5 or £10, which will restrict the size of your free bet. We recommend starting out with the smaller free bet offers until you find your feet and go with those that match your first bet or deposit or even give you more than your first bet or deposit.


Champions League Betting Markets & Specials

There are plenty of options when it comes to betting on the Champions League, which includes:

  • Match Result & Total Goals – if a team is a heavy favourite in a game, it can pay to back them coupled with a bet on the Total Goals in the match to improve the odds.
  • Match Result & Both Teams to Score (BTTS) – another option when backing a big odds-on favourite is to look at the Match Result & BTTS. A consolation goal is always a distinct possibility once the result is beyond doubt.
  • Asian Handicap – a good option with a heavy favourite, whether you expect them to win big or do just enough, is the Asian Handicap.
  • Accumulator – a favourite bet among many punters looking to bolster their odds. Can be lucrative, but it generally pays not to be too ambitious in the number of legs included in your bet.

All the betting markets available for any major league or cup competition will be on offer for Champions League betting, so in terms of long-term bets, as well as the ‘Outright Winner’ and backing the ‘Group Winners’ (or qualifiers) from the group stage, you can also back the ‘Top Goalscorer’ in the tournament.

On a game-by-game basis, there are all the usual markets available, such as ‘Match Result’, ‘Correct Score’, ‘First Goalscorer’ and ‘BTTS’ (Both Teams To Score), but also look out for the likes of Asian Handicaps, Corner and Bookings betting and any Special bets and promotions offered, particularly enhanced odds that can provide some seriously inflated prices for new customers.


How It Began

Although the Champions League era of competition has only been in operation for 30 years, the tournament itself has a much richer history, and with it previously being operated as the European Cup, the first edition took place during the 1955/56 season.

Which means in either the European Cup or Champions League iterations, this competition has more than a half-century of history to look back on and although the format has changed since its name change, the ethos of Europe’s premier club tournament is the same.

An ethos that pits the very best that Europe has to offer against each other and although this competition was viewed with suspicion by the Football League in its early years, English teams now love nothing more than being the kings of the continent.


Previous Winners

When it comes to this competition as a whole, only one team springs to mind, and with Real Madrid winning either the European Cup or Champions League on no fewer than 14 separate occasions, it is fair to say that their relationship with this trophy is symbiotic.

A relationship that arguably made the competition what it is today, and with Los Blancos winning the first five editions of the European Cup between 1956 and 1960, they were the first ever superstar team to be built.

While although they do not have such a monopoly on proceedings these days, they still possess the nous to win, and in recent times, their Galactico’s have created a Champions League dynasty of their own.

A dynasty that was formed between 2014 and 2018, and with the Santiago Bernabeu outfit winning four of the five finals that took place during that time, they evoked the spirit of the great Real team of the 1950s.

Premier League dominance came next, with Liverpool and Chelsea getting their hands on the trophy, but Real Madrid bounced back to lift the trophy in 2022. A victory over Liverpool in the final came after knocking out PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City en route to the final, in a remarkable European season for the Spanish side.

Manchester City finally got their hands on the trophy in 2023, beating Inter Milan to get the one that had previously eluded them.
