The four teams remaining in 2014–15 edition of the Champions Hockey League will begin their semi-finals on Tuesday. Read below to find out how you can watch the games where you live and who the referees and linesmen will be.
Press Release
Four teams remain in the hunt to be crowned club hockey champion of Europe – three in Sweden and one in Finland. However, fans in at least seven other countries on three continents will be able to watch the semi-finals on local television.
For the first time, CHL games will be televised in South America, as ESPN Brazil has signed a deal to televise the CHL through 2017, starting with Tuesday's games. On that day are the first legs of the two-game, home-and-away series. Keep in mind that any games that are not being televised locally will be available to you here at championshockeyleague.net.

The second games of both series will be played Tuesday, 20 January. The winners of the series, who will advance to the final, will be determined according to the following criteria:
- The team that scores the most goals after 120 minutes of hockey (two regulation games) is the winner. For this purpose, the football "away goal rule" does not apply. All goals carry equal weight.
- No Overtime or Game-Winning Shots (shootout) are played after the first game, even if it ends in a tie. Overtime will only be played after the second game if the total series score is even.
- Overtime in the eighth-finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals is 10 minutes in length and sudden-death (golden goal). Teams skate 4-on-4 at full strength.
- As in all penalty shootouts so far in the CHL, teams will continue to use five shooters each.
The winners of the two series will face off in a one-game final, to be played Tuesday, 3 February at the home of the team with the better overall CHL record.
