The 2028 UEFA Champions League final will be the final match of the 2027–28 UEFA Champions League, the 73rd season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 36th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League. It will be played at the Munich Football Arena in Munich, Germany, on 27 May 2028.[1]
The winners will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2027–28 UEFA Europa League in the 2028 UEFA Super Cup, compete in the final of the 2028 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, and qualify for the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup. The winners will also qualify to enter the league phase of the 2028–29 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).
Host selection
[edit]On 11 July 2025, UEFA opened the bidding process for the final, which is being held in parallel with that of the 2029 final. Interested bidders can bid for either one or both of the finals. Additionally, bidding associations can only be appointed one UEFA final in a given year. The proposed venues have to include natural grass and be ranked as a UEFA category four stadium, with a gross capacity of at least 70,000 (with a tolerance of 10% below). The bidding timeline is as follows:[1][2]
