Munich Emerges as Sole Interested Host for 2028 Champions League Final

UEFA set a June 10, 2026 bid deadline ahead of an Executive Committee award in September 2026.

Overview

  • UEFA lists Munich as the only city to have expressed interest in staging the 2028 final, and the declaration is not a binding bid.
  • Official bid documents and a final event concept must be submitted by June 10, 2026, before a September decision by the UEFA Executive Committee.
  • If Munich remains the only qualified bidder, the match would be expected to be played at the Allianz Arena, subject to UEFA approval.
  • Munich’s case is bolstered by recent experience hosting the 2025 final, where Paris Saint‑Germain beat Inter 5–0, in addition to the 2012 final and earlier editions at the Olympiastadion.
  • UEFA has already assigned 2026 to Budapest and 2027 to Madrid, and London and Barcelona have registered interest for 2029, while Munich refines security, transport and partner plans for its formal bid.
