Kick-off time is provisional — UEFA moved finals to an 18:00 CET start from 2026 and confirms the 2027 schedule closer to the match.
About the match
The UEFA Champions League final is the showpiece of European club football and the most-watched annual sporting event in the world. A single match at a neutral stadium decides the champion of Europe, contested by the two clubs that survive a season-long knockout of the continent's best. Real Madrid are the record winners.
What’s at stake
- The European Cup — the trophy Real Madrid have lifted a record 15 times
- Paris Saint-Germain arrive as back-to-back champions after Munich 2025 and Budapest 2026
- The winner qualifies for the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup
