AC Milan vs Benfica - Live Stream
View the live stream, TV coverage details and live score for the AC Milan vs Benfica, a UEFA Europa League Match.
Two former European champions meet at the San Siro—officially the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza—in Milan on Wednesday, September 16, as AC Milan and Benfica begin their UEFA Europa League league-phase campaigns. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. local time and 3:00 p.m. US Eastern Time. Rúben Amorim’s Milan remain unbeaten this season but have drawn their past two Serie A matches, including a 2-2 result at Lazio after recovering from two goals down. Benfica arrive in stronger form, having won seven consecutive matches across all competitions, while history favours the Rossoneri: the Portuguese club have never beaten Milan in six competitive meetings, including defeats in the 1963 and 1990 European Cup finals.

Team news
Milan have no confirmed injury or suspension absences. Mattia Gabbia and Mario Gila have recovered from their recent fitness issues, although Gila could be rested as Amorim prepares to rotate his squad.
The Milan coach tested a significantly altered lineup in final training. Filippo Terracciano could make a surprise start in the three-man defence, with Ardon Jashari and Yunus Musah replacing Luka Modrić and Adrien Rabiot in midfield. Omari Hutchinson is pushing for his first start alongside Alphadjo Cissè, while Christian Pulisic may begin among the substitutes despite recently returning from injury. Former Benfica striker Gonçalo Ramos is expected to lead the attack.
Benfica will be without right-back Alexander Bah, who remains sidelined with a shoulder injury. Bruma was not registered in the Europa League squad and is also unavailable. Young defender Daniel Banjaqui is expected to deputise at right-back, although captain Fredrik Aursnes provides another option.
Vangelis Pavlidis will lead Benfica’s attack after scoring six times during Europa League qualifying and eight goals in the Portuguese league. Gianluca Prestianni, Rafa Silva and Andreas Schjelderup are the leading candidates to operate behind him.
Predicted lineups
AC Milan: Maignan; Terracciano, De Winter, Pavlović; Chukwueze, Musah, Jashari, Bartesaghi; Hutchinson, Cissè; Gonçalo Ramos.
Benfica: Soares; Banjaqui, Tomás Araújo, Lenglet, Dahl; Palhinha, Barreiro; Rafa Silva, Prestianni, Schjelderup; Pavlidis.
