The2027 UEFA Champions League final will be the final match of the2026–27 UEFA Champions League, the 72nd season of Europe's premier clubfootball tournament organised byUEFA, and the 35th season since it was renamed from theEuropean Champion Clubs' Cup to theUEFA Champions League. It will be played at theMetropolitano Stadium inMadrid, Spain, on 5 June 2027.[1]
The winners will earn the right to play against the winners of the2026–27 UEFA Europa League in the2027 UEFA Super Cup, compete in the final of the2027 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, and qualify for the2029 FIFA Club World Cup. The winners will also qualify to enter the league phase of the2027–28 UEFA Champions League, unless they have already qualified for the Champions League through their league performance (in which case the access list will be rebalanced).
On 17 May 2023, UEFA opened the bidding process for the final, which was held in parallel with that of the2026 final. Interested bidders could bid for either one or both of the finals. Additionally, bidding associations could only be appointed one UEFA final in a given year. The proposed venues had to include natural grass and be ranked as aUEFA category four stadium, with a gross capacity of at least 70,000 preferred. The first bidding timeline was as follows:[2]
UEFA announced on 18 July 2023 that three associations had expressed interest in hosting the 2026 and 2027 finals during the first bidding process.[3]
| Association | Stadium | City | Capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Hungary | Puskás Aréna | Budapest | 67,215 | Stadium appointed as host of2026 Champions League final |
 Italy | San Siro | Milan | 75,817 |
The UEFA Executive Committee suspended the decision on the host appointment during their meeting inDublin, Republic of Ireland, on 22 May 2024.[4] This delay allowed theItalian Football Federation to submit additional information on the refurbishment plans for theSan Siro inMilan.[5] At the subsequent Executive Committee meeting inPrague, Czech Republic, on 24 September 2024, the San Siro was not selected to host the final. This decision was made because the municipality of Milan could not guarantee that refurbishment works would not affect the stadium and its surroundings during the final. Consequently, UEFA opted to open a new bidding process for the final.[6]
A second bidding process was opened on 30 September 2024 with the same venue requirements, though associations that already were appointed to host a final in 2027 could not bid. The bidding timeline was as follows:[1]
UEFA announced on 23 October 2024 that two associations had expressed interest in hosting the 2027 final during the second bidding process.[7]
| Association | Stadium | City | Capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Azerbaijan | Olympic Stadium | Baku | 69,870 | |
 Spain | Metropolitano Stadium | Madrid | 70,692 | Association also bid for2027 Women's Champions League final (with different venue) |
The UEFA Executive Committee was originally to appoint the host during their meeting inBilbao, Spain, on 21 May 2025, but it was postponed "for operational reasons" until September 2025.[8] The Metropolitano Stadium was selected as the venue by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting inTirana, Albania, on 11 September 2025.[9]
The winner of semi-final 1 will be designated as the "home" team for administrative purposes.
