When is UEFA Champions League Final?

The next UEFA Champions League Final will take place on Saturday, June 5, 2027, at Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain.

When Is the 2027 UEFA Champions League Final?

The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League season will end with the final on June 5, 2027. The match falls on a Saturday.

UEFA has officially confirmed the date and venue. The kick-off time has not yet been announced. No final dates for 2028 or later have been confirmed, so only the 2027 date is included in the countdown.

Where Will the Champions League Final Be Played?

The final will be held at Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, the home stadium of Atlético de Madrid. The ground is located in the Rosas area of the Spanish capital and has a capacity of about 70,000 spectators.

This will be the stadium’s second Champions League Final. It previously hosted the 2019 match, when Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2–0.

Madrid will host the European Cup or Champions League Final for the sixth time. Earlier finals in the city were played at the Santiago Bernabéu in 1957, 1969, 1980 and 2010, followed by the 2019 final at Estadio Metropolitano.

Getting to Estadio Metropolitano

The stadium is in north-eastern Madrid on Avenida Luis Aragonés. The nearest Madrid Metro stop is Estadio Metropolitano on Line 7.

Transport arrangements may change on matchday. Ticket holders should check their assigned entrance, recommended travel route and arrival time after UEFA releases the final event instructions.

2026/27 Champions League Knockout Schedule

The two finalists will emerge from the knockout rounds played between February and May 2027. The scheduled dates are:

• Knockout phase play-offs: February 16–17 and February 23–24, 2027
• Round of 16: March 9–10 and March 16–17, 2027
• Quarter-finals: April 6–7 and April 13–14, 2027
• Semi-finals: April 27–28 and May 4–5, 2027
• Final: June 5, 2027

The finalists should therefore be known after the second semi-final legs on May 4 and May 5, subject to any calendar changes announced by UEFA.

What Time Will the 2027 Champions League Final Start?

UEFA has not yet published the official kick-off time for the 2027 final. Match coverage, stadium opening times and local broadcast schedules will be confirmed closer to June 5.

Madrid uses Central European Summer Time in June. Supporters watching from another country should check the confirmed start time in their local time zone once UEFA announces it.

How to Get Tickets for the 2027 Final

General ticket sales have not opened. UEFA has stated that information about public ticket applications will be released in 2027.

Champions League Final tickets are normally divided among supporters of the two finalists, the general public, UEFA partners, national associations and other competition groups. Demand is usually far higher than the number of seats available.

Official hospitality sales are expected to begin near the end of 2026. Hospitality packages may include a match seat, food, drinks and access to designated areas, depending on the package selected.

When Should Supporters Apply?

Public ticket applications usually open before the finalists are known. Applicants may need to enter a ballot rather than purchase tickets immediately. Successful applicants receive payment and ticket-delivery instructions through the official ticketing system.

Supporters of the finalists may also receive a separate allocation through their clubs after the semi-finals. Each club sets its own eligibility rules, which may consider season-ticket status, membership or attendance history.

Tickets should not be purchased from unauthorised sellers. Invalid, duplicated or transferred tickets may be rejected at the stadium entrance.

How to Watch the Champions League Final

The 2027 final will be shown by UEFA’s licensed television and streaming partners. The broadcaster list will vary by country and will be published closer to the match.

Coverage is likely to begin before kick-off with team news, interviews and stadium footage. Viewers should confirm whether their local broadcaster offers free television coverage, a subscription channel or an online stream.

What Happens If the Final Is Level?

The Champions League Final is decided in one match. There is no second leg.

If the score is level after 90 minutes, the teams play two 15-minute periods of extra time. A penalty shoot-out decides the winner if the score remains level after extra time.

There is no away-goals rule because the final is played at a neutral venue, although Atlético de Madrid could appear at their home stadium if they qualify.

What Does the Winning Team Receive?

The winners will lift the UEFA Champions League trophy and qualify to face the 2026/27 UEFA Europa League winners in the 2027 UEFA Super Cup.

The champions will also receive a place in the league phase of the 2027/28 Champions League if they have not already qualified through their domestic competition.
