The 2026 Champions League final will be held on May 30 at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary. Arsenal became the first team to reach the final by defeating Atletico Madrid. The other finalist will be determined by the result of the second match between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.
The final match traditionally starts at 21:00, but this year UEFA decided to move it to 18:00 CET. This change was made to enhance the fan experience and optimize logistics such as transportation. The rock band The Killers will perform before the final.
Arsenal reached the final for the first time since 2006 and has not yet won the Champions League title. PSG is trying to defend last year's championship and aims to repeat the success that only Real Madrid has achieved by winning three consecutive titles. Bayern Munich aims to win their 7th championship to equal AC Milan.
Puskas Arena, with a capacity of 67,000, opened in 2019 and is named after the Hungarian football legend Ferenc Puskas. The 2027 final will be played at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, marking the stadium's second time hosting the final.
Among the past Champions League winners, Real Madrid leads with 15 titles, followed by AC Milan and Bayern Munich. The exact result and details of the final will be clarified after the match between PSG and Bayern and will be officially announced by UEFA.
