Buy Champions League Final tickets for the 2026/27 season. The match takes place at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid on Saturday 5 June 2027, the second time the home of Atletico Madrid has staged the showpiece after Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur there in 2019. UEFA confirmed the venue in September 2025, making this the sixth European Cup or Champions League final held in the Spanish capital.

The finalists will not be known until the semi-finals finish in early May 2027, which is exactly why planning starts now. UEFA's public ballot takes only a sliver of the stadium, the two finalists split roughly 34,000 seats between their own members and the rest goes to partners and federations. Every season, supporters who left it until the final whistle of the semi-finals found the Champions League tickets market had already moved on without them.
This guide sets out how the final is allocated, what UEFA charged in 2026 and how the Metropolitano is laid out, so you can decide what to buy and where to sit before the rush. The listing at the top of this page shows live availability the moment seats come to market.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Match | 2026/27 UEFA Champions League Final |
| Date | Saturday 5 June 2027 |
| Kick-off | UEFA moved the final to an 18:00 CEST slot from 2026; the 2027 time is confirmed in the season calendar |
| Venue | Riyadh Air Metropolitano (Estadio Metropolitano), Madrid, Spain |
| Stadium capacity | 70,692 for club matches; UEFA finals run at a reduced figure once media, segregation and partner areas are set aside |
| Holders | Paris Saint-Germain, who beat Arsenal 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Budapest on 30 May 2026 |
| Previous final here | 2019: Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur |
| Finalists confirmed | After the semi-final second legs on 4 and 5 May 2027 |
Three forces squeeze supply for this match. The first is structural: a Champions League final is the only club match in Europe where neither competing side plays at home, so both sets of supporters travel in full and both clubs' member schemes are oversubscribed within hours. The second is the host city. Madrid is a short flight from every major European market, has two large airports and a Metro line that stops at the stadium gate, so the usual travel friction that thins out a final crowd barely applies.
The third is the partner share. In 2026 UEFA set aside more than 22,000 of the 61,400 Budapest seats for broadcasters, sponsors, national federations and guests. A large portion of that inventory reaches the secondary market late and in small quantities, which is where the price pressure comes from in the final fortnight.
Holders Paris Saint-Germain became only the second club, after Real Madrid, to retain the trophy in the Champions League era, and a third straight final appearance would add another layer of demand. Whichever two clubs reach Madrid, the pattern since the 2019 final at this ground has been the same: neutral seats disappear first, then the finalists' own ends firm up as member allocations are exhausted.
Yes, and for most supporters outside the two finalists' member schemes it is the only realistic route. UEFA's general public ballot for the 2026 final offered just 4,600 seats worldwide, with applications open for three days in mid-March and winners drawn at random. Applicants could request a maximum of two tickets. The odds in any given year run comfortably above twenty applicants per seat.
Each finalist receives a block of around 17,200 tickets, sold through the club's own ticket portal to season ticket holders and members on a loyalty-points or priority basis. Fans First seats, the lowest-priced category, sit inside that club allocation and never reach general sale. If you are not a member of a finalist with the required purchase history, the club route is closed to you before it opens.
That leaves the verified secondary market. Seats listed on 1BoxOffice come from the partner, hospitality and member allocations described above, with the category, section and supporter designation shown on each listing before you commit. The remaining question is what those seats cost and how the categories map onto the Metropolitano, which the next two sections answer.
Five factors set the price of any seat for the final: the UEFA category it was issued under, whether it sits in a finalist's designated end or a neutral block, the lead time before kick-off, the identity of the two clubs involved and the hospitality tier where catering is included. Category and lead time matter most. A Category 3 seat bought in early May and the same seat bought on final week are different products on the secondary market.
UEFA confirms the face-value structure for each final in the spring when the public ballot opens. The 2027 figures had not been released when this guide was written. The 2026 Budapest structure below is the most recent reference, and the lowest tier had been frozen at the same level for three successive finals.
| UEFA Category (2026 final) | Where It Sits | 2026 Face Value | Secondary Market Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category 1 | Long side, central lower and middle tiers | €950 | Scarcest category on the resale market; most Cat 1 stock comes from partner allocations |
| Category 2 | Long side, upper tier and lower-tier wings | €650 | Strongest value-to-view ratio for neutral buyers |
| Category 3 | Behind the goals and corners, both ends | €180 | Largest category by volume; some blocks carry a finalist supporter designation |
| Fans First | Finalists' ends, club allocation only | €70 | Sold only through the two clubs; rarely appears on the secondary market |
| Hospitality | Lounge and box products with a seat upgrade | Sold separately by UEFA | Listed with the package contents stated; prices depend on tier |
Secondary market prices for a Champions League final run at multiples of face value and shift sharply in the two weeks after the finalists are confirmed, as travel bookings lock in and unsold partner inventory is released. Treat any range as indicative. Live floor prices appear in the listing at the top of this page and may change as availability moves closer to the match.
The Metropolitano is an enclosed bowl with two main tiers running continuously around the pitch, so sightlines are good from almost every seat. The Riyadh Air Metropolitano seating plan shows block numbering and tier splits. For final tickets the blocks are regrouped into UEFA categories, which the table below maps against the ground's regular layout.
| Area | What It Suits | Likely UEFA Category | General Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long side lower, central | Buyers who want the closest view of the pitch and the trophy lift | Category 1 | Sold out fastest through partner channels; expect the highest resale prices |
| Long side upper | Tactical overview, families and neutrals | Category 2 | Elevated and sheltered by the undulating roof; strong value for the view |
| Behind the goal, neutral blocks | Atmosphere seekers happy to sit among both sets of fans | Category 3 | Check whether the listing carries a club designation before buying |
| Finalists' ends (Fondo Sur and Fondo Norte) | Members and travelling supporters of each club | Fans First and Category 3 | Colours of the opposing club will not be tolerated here |
| Hospitality and box level | Corporate groups and buyers who want catering and a private entrance | Hospitality | Seats are usually long-side middle tier with lounge access |
The stadium's regular matchday arrangements, from gate times to the bag policy, are covered on the Riyadh Air Metropolitano tickets listing, and most of that guidance carries over to the final with tighter security on the day.
UEFA assigns one end of the stadium to each finalist, with a sterile zone and separate approach routes to keep the two groups apart. At the Metropolitano the two ends are the Fondo Sur, the south end that houses the most vocal Atletico Madrid support on a normal matchday, and the Fondo Norte opposite. Which finalist gets which end is decided after the semi-finals and published in the ticket information for the match.
| Supporter Type | Best Approach |
|---|---|
| Supporters of finalist A | Target Category 3 or Fans First seats in your club's designated end; listings on 1BoxOffice carry a club tag where a seat is allocated to one set of fans |
| Supporters of finalist B | Same approach at the opposite end; if your club's end is sold through, a neutral long-side seat in your colours is acceptable, a seat in the other end is not |
| Neutral buyers | Category 1 and 2 long-side blocks have no club designation and are the safest choice if you will not be wearing either club's colours |
Stewards at UEFA finals enforce the designation strictly. A supporter in the wrong end may be refused entry or moved, with no refund from any seller. Read the listing notes before you pay.
UEFA sells hospitality through its own programme, with packages that bundle a premium seat with lounge access, pre-match dining and a dedicated entrance. The options for Madrid will follow the tiers used in recent finals, and the table below describes what each tier typically includes so you can read a secondary listing with confidence.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Shared lounge package | Couples and small groups wanting a step up from general admission | Category 1 or 2 seat, pre-match buffet, bar and a separate entrance away from the main turnstiles |
| Premium lounge with seat upgrade | Supporters who want the central lower tier without a box | Padded seat on the long side, seated dining and post-match access to the lounge |
| Private box | Corporate hosts and larger parties | Enclosed box with balcony seats, private waiter service and a bespoke menu |
| Pitch-level and club lounges | Buyers who want the players' tunnel or dressing-room corridor experience | Lowest numbers released in any final and the first to sell out on the secondary market |
Hospitality listings on 1BoxOffice state what is included. If a listing shows only a seat and the word "hospitality" with no package detail, ask before buying rather than assume catering is attached.
Hospitality also solves a problem that general admission cannot. Because packages are sold without a club designation, a mixed group of supporters from both finalists can sit together without anyone being in the wrong end. For corporate hosts entertaining clients from more than one club, that is often the deciding factor rather than the catering.
Recent finals have been almost entirely mobile. UEFA issues tickets through its own ticketing app, with each ticket tied to a named lead holder, and transfers between accounts are controlled. Secondary market sellers handle this in a handful of ways, and the delivery method is stated on every listing.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer through the UEFA app | You will need the app installed and an account in your name; the transfer usually lands in the 72 hours before kick-off |
| Mobile ticket file | A barcode or wallet file sent by email; download it before travel in case of poor signal at the stadium |
| Account access handover | Some sellers supply login details for the account holding the ticket; confirm the name on the ticket matches what will be checked at the gate |
| Collection in Madrid | Rare for UEFA finals; where offered, note the collection address and the window, usually the day before the match |
Bring photo ID that matches the ticket holder's name, charge your phone fully and arrive at the gate with the ticket already open. Gates for UEFA finals open roughly three hours before kick-off and the security search is slower than for a league match.
1BoxOffice has traded as a verified marketplace since 2006 and backs every order with a 150% money-back guarantee if a ticket fails to grant entry on the day. The eight steps below take you from the listing to the turnstile.

First-time buyers should create an account so that delivery details, the ticket holder's name and the order history sit in one place. Returning customers log in.
Step3
Filter by category and supporter designation
Narrow the listing by UEFA category, price and quantity. Check the designation tag on each seat if you intend to wear colours.
Step4
Read the listing notes
Each seller states the delivery method, whether seats are together and any restriction such as a partial view or a named-holder requirement.
Step5
Confirm the date against your travel
The final is fixed for Saturday 5 June 2027, but kick-off time is confirmed by UEFA in the season calendar. Book flights with the published time in mind.
Step6
Complete payment through secure checkout

Step8
Track your order
Follow delivery status at any point through track order, and keep your phone charged for the gate.
Madrid is one of the easiest final venues in recent memory for supporters flying in. Direct flights run from London, Paris, Milan, Munich and Lisbon in under three hours, and from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Riyadh in around seven to eight. Madrid Barajas airport sits on the east side of the city, a short Metro or taxi ride from the stadium, so a same-day arrival for an evening kick-off is realistic. Visitors from the UK and the Gulf should check Schengen entry rules for Spain well ahead of travel.
Supporters travelling from the Gulf should note that the final falls on a Saturday evening in Madrid, which lands at 20:00 in the UAE and 19:00 in Saudi Arabia for an 18:00 kick-off. An overnight flight out on the Friday, a Saturday in the city and a Sunday return is the usual pattern, and it keeps the trip inside one weekend of annual leave.
Mobile delivery works for international buyers as it does for anyone else, provided you can receive email and install the ticketing app on a phone that will work in Spain. Seats together can be filtered for on every listing, and sellers note whether a pair is adjacent or merely in the same block. The date of the final does not move, which is the one advantage this match has over a league schedule shuffled for broadcasters, but an earlier kick-off means a Saturday morning arrival rather than a leisurely afternoon one.
The stadium sits in the San Blas-Canillejas district in the east of Madrid, roughly 7 kilometres from the city centre and closer still to the airport. The Metro is the sensible way in and the only sensible way out.
The 2026/27 competition follows the 36-team league phase format introduced in 2024/25. Each club plays eight matches against eight different opponents, the top eight qualify directly for the round of 16 and places nine to 24 go through a two-legged knockout play-off. The dates below are those published by UEFA and are subject to change.
| Stage | Dates |
|---|---|
| League phase, matchdays 1 to 6 | 8 September to 9 December 2026 |
| League phase, matchdays 7 and 8 | 19/20 January and 27 January 2027 |
| Knockout play-offs | 16/17 and 23/24 February 2027 |
| Round of 16 | 9/10 and 16/17 March 2027 |
| Quarter-finals | 6/7 and 13/14 April 2027 |
| Semi-finals | 27/28 April and 4/5 May 2027 |
| Final | Saturday 5 June 2027, Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Madrid |
The gap between the semi-final second legs and the final is a full month, longer than in most recent seasons. That window is when the secondary market for the final is at its most active, and when supporters of the two qualified clubs who missed out on member allocations do most of their buying.
Real Madrid remain the most decorated club in the competition with 15 titles, including the first five European Cups from 1956 to 1960. AC Milan have seven, Bayern Munich and Liverpool six each. Paris Saint-Germain's 2025 win over Inter Milan by 5-0 remains the widest margin in any final, and their penalty-shootout defence of the trophy against Arsenal in 2026 made them the first club other than Real Madrid to retain it in the Champions League era.
Madrid as a city has a long relationship with this match. The old Santiago Bernabeu hosted finals in 1957, 1969, 1980 and 2010, and the Metropolitano joined the list in 2019. The 2027 final makes it six, second only to London among host cities.
| Year | Winner | Score | Runner-up | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Paris Saint-Germain | 1-1 (4-3 pens) | Arsenal | Puskas Arena, Budapest |
| 2025 | Paris Saint-Germain | 5-0 | Inter Milan | Allianz Arena, Munich |
| 2024 | Real Madrid | 2-0 | Borussia Dortmund | Wembley, London |
| 2023 | Manchester City | 1-0 | Inter Milan | Ataturk Olympic, Istanbul |
| 2022 | Real Madrid | 1-0 | Liverpool | Stade de France, Paris |
| 2021 | Chelsea | 1-0 | Manchester City | Estadio do Dragao, Porto |
| 2020 | Bayern Munich | 1-0 | Paris Saint-Germain | Estadio da Luz, Lisbon |
| 2019 | Liverpool | 2-0 | Tottenham Hotspur | Metropolitano, Madrid |
| 2018 | Real Madrid | 3-1 | Liverpool | NSC Olimpiyskiy, Kyiv |
| 2017 | Real Madrid | 4-1 | Juventus | Millennium Stadium, Cardiff |
| 2016 | Real Madrid | 1-1 (5-3 pens) | Atletico Madrid | San Siro, Milan |
| 2015 | Barcelona | 3-1 | Juventus | Olympiastadion, Berlin |
| 2014 | Real Madrid | 4-1 | Atletico Madrid | Estadio da Luz, Lisbon |
| 2013 | Bayern Munich | 2-1 | Borussia Dortmund | Wembley, London |
| 2012 | Chelsea | 1-1 (4-3 pens) | Bayern Munich | Allianz Arena, Munich |
| 2011 | Barcelona | 3-1 | Manchester United | Wembley, London |
| 2010 | Inter Milan | 2-0 | Bayern Munich | Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid |
At the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, the home of Atletico Madrid, on Saturday 5 June 2027. It is the stadium's second final after 2019.
The finalists are decided by the semi-final second legs on 4 and 5 May 2027. Until then, neutral-category seats are the only ones without a club designation.
UEFA moved the final from 21:00 to 18:00 CEST starting with the 2026 match in Budapest. The 2027 kick-off is confirmed in the UEFA season calendar and is expected to follow the earlier slot.
Enter the UEFA public ballot in the spring for a small chance at face value, or buy through a verified secondary marketplace where seats from partner and hospitality allocations are listed with the category shown.
For the 2026 final UEFA charged €70 for Fans First, €180 for Category 3, €650 for Category 2 and €950 for Category 1. The 2027 structure is published when the ballot opens.
In 2026 only 4,600 of 61,400 seats went to the public ballot. With demand running far beyond that, the secondary market reflects the market-clearing rate rather than the ballot price.
UEFA's public ballot for the 2026 final ran for three days in mid-March, and a similar window is expected for 2027. Secondary market listings for the Madrid final open earlier and expand once the finalists are known.
For neutral seats, before the semi-finals finish. For a finalist's end, the ten days before kick-off, when member resales and unsold partner stock come to market. Prices in the final 48 hours can move either way.
Every listing is checked before it goes live and the marketplace has traded since 2006. All orders are covered by a 150% money-back guarantee if a ticket fails to grant entry.
Most seats are delivered as a mobile transfer through UEFA's ticketing app or as a mobile ticket file by email. The method is stated on each listing and confirmed in your order email.
Yes. Listings show how many seats are available and whether they are adjacent. Pairs are plentiful; groups of four or more in one row are scarce and priced accordingly.
You can buy a seat with a club designation, but you will be expected to behave as a supporter of that club. Wearing the other finalist's colours in a designated end leads to refused entry.
Category 1 is central long side, Category 2 the upper long side and wings, Category 3 behind the goals and corners. Fans First is the lowest-priced tier, reserved for the two finalists' supporters through their clubs.
Yes. Shared lounge packages, premium seats with dining and private boxes appear in the listing alongside general admission and can be filtered separately. Each listing states what the package includes.
No. UEFA finals are mobile-only, with the ticket presented on a phone through the app or a wallet file. Screenshots are not accepted at the turnstile.
Carry photo ID matching the ticket holder's name. UEFA runs identity checks on a sample basis at finals and stewards can ask for it at any gate.
Only small bags are admitted and every one is searched. Rucksacks, bottles, flares and large flags without a fire certificate are refused, and there is no bag store at the stadium.
Yes, with a ticket of their own regardless of age, as UEFA does not permit infants on laps. Upper-tier long-side seats are the calmest option for families.
Metro Line 7 to Estadio Metropolitano, around 25 minutes from the centre, with the exit a minute from the turnstiles. Lines 2 and 5 offer alternatives within a 15 minute walk.
Purchases are non-refundable in standard cases, in line with secondary market practice. The 150% guarantee covers non-delivery and material misdescription, not a change of plans.
