What channel is Zurich vs Hearts? Live stream, TV and kick off details for the Europa League playoff

It's been a long 18 years without European group stage football for Hearts. But that comes to an end this season - the only question is will it be the Europa League or the Conference League for Robbie Neilson's team?

We're potentially just 180 minutes away from an answer as the Jambos take on Zurich home and away, starting with tonight's clash in Switzerland. It won't be in Zurich itself though as Hearts travel to St Gallen, with a concert scheduled at the champions' usual home ground.

Neilson's team go into the game on the back of a positive start to the 2022/23 league season having taken seven points from nine in their opening three matches - including an impressive 4-1 win over Dundee United on Sunday. On the other hand, Zurich currently sit bottom of their domestic table with no wins and just two draws from any of their opening five league clashes. But they successfully overcame Linfield in the previous round to earn a crack at the Gorgie side.

Despite the tricky start, Neilson won't be underestimating his team's opponents who beat the likes of Basel and Young Boys to the Super League title last year. Here is how to keep up with what is sure to be exciting European night for the Jambos
