UEFA Awards 2027 Champions League Final to Madrid’s Metropolitano

The pick reflects UEFA's focus on stadium readiness, with prior hosting experience weighing heavily.

Overview

  • UEFA’s Executive Committee, meeting in Tirana on September 11, confirmed the Estadio Metropolitano as the venue for the men’s final on June 5, 2027.
  • The Madrid stadium was selected over Baku’s Olympic Stadium after San Siro lost its earlier designation due to renovation plans that risked unavailability.
  • It will be the Metropolitano’s second Champions League final, following the 2019 LiverpoolTottenham decider held at the same ground.
  • UEFA also assigned the 2027 Women’s Champions League final to Warsaw’s National Stadium and the 2027 UEFA Super Cup to Salzburg.
  • The Spanish federation presented the bid with backing from national, regional and city authorities, while some Atlético supporter groups voiced opposition to the selection.
