OL Lyonnes vs Arsenal FC: Disney to stream UWCL clash
Paris, April 30, 2026 – On Saturday, May 2, Lyon will host the second leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-final between OL Lyonnes and Arsenal Women FC, following the first leg played on April 26 (2–1 to Arsenal). For this flagship fixture in European women’s football, OL Lyonnes will be supported by Disney+, its Broadcast Partner since January 2026, a partnership facilitated by SPORTFIVE, the international sports marketing agency.
In just a few days, the OL Lyonnes will step onto the pitch with one clear goal: securing their place for the final in Oslo. Standing in their way are Arsenal Women FC, the defending champions, who eliminated the Lyon side at the same stage last season. The stage is set and the stakes are high. This clash between two of the biggest clubs in European women’s football will be broadcast live on Disney+.
Disney+, behind the scenes and on the pitch
As the Official Broadcast Partner of OL Lyonnes since January 2026, Disney+ will roll out a strong on-site presence at the stadium, with giant screen spots and LED visibility, as well as beyond the pitch: marketing activations involving the club’s players and digital relays aimed at the fan community. To mark this high-profile semi-final, Disney+ has produced an exclusive teaser using exceptional footage, immersing viewers at the heart of knockout-stage encounters.
See you on Saturday, May 2 at 3:00pm (UTC+2) in Lyon and on Disney+.
According to Adeline Houzet, Chief Revenue Officer of OL Lyonnes: “We are proud to welcome Disney+ as our Broadcast Partner and to team up with one of the broadcasters of the Women’s Champions League. This partnership reflects our shared ambitions to extend the reach of women’s football beyond borders and to enable a wider audience to experience the excitement of Europe’s biggest fixtures.”
Xavier Oddone, Managing Director of SPORTFIVE : “Women’s football is no longer a bet, it is a given. Seeing Disney+ commit alongside OL Lyonnes confirms that the sport has become a fully-fledged platform for expression for major brands. This is exactly what we are building, match after match, with the club.”
