CBS had a star signing as a new pundit tonight. Branching out after her work on the Super Bowl.

I wouldn't call myself an 'average viewer' but I would use UCL on the internet at least. It's far shorter than UEFA Champions League anyway. #UCL on Twitter gives a special emoji and I think it's common internet shorthand on hashtag etc., like on the CBS post above.
Next year the acronyms get a little disfigured with the Europa Confernce League dropping the 'Europa' from its name, so that will be UCL as well, rather than UECL. That will be one of many changes for next season of course, including Thursday night Champions League football in one week in September.

One minor note from what I saw of TNT's coverage - they added a graphic post match labelling Real Madrid as "UCL winners". I know UCL gets used quite a bit internally, but would your average viewer ever refer to the Champions League as that?
