Budapest's Puskas Arena set to host 2026 Champions League final

The Puskas Arena in Budapest will host the 2026 men's Champions League final, UEFA has announced.

The stadium, which is home to the Hungary national team and has a capacity of approximately 67,000, staged four matches during Euro 2020, in addition to last season’s Europa League final between Sevilla and Roma.

A decision on the venue for the 2027 final has been postponed until September, subject to the Italian football federation submitting information on refurbishment plans for the San Siro in Milan.

The 2026 Women’s Champions League final will be held at Oslo’s Ullevaal Stadion, UEFA’s executive committee decided at meeting on Wednesday in Dublin.

Istanbul’s Besiktas Park will host the 2026 Europa League and 2027 Europa Conference League finals.

Stadion Frankfurt will stage the 2027 Europa League final, while the 2026 Europa Conference League final will also be held in Germany, at Leipzig’s RB Arena.

A new bidding procedure will be opened to select the host of the 2027 Women’s Champions League final as Stuttgart’s bid was not considered due to Germany already being awarded UEFA finals for 2026 and 2027.
