UEFA has confirmed Munich’s Allianz Arena as the host of the 2028 Champions League final and Barcelona’s Camp Nou as the venue for the 2029 final. The selections were approved by UEFA’s Executive Committee in Thessaloniki, Greece, alongside host appointments for the Europa League, Conference League and Women’s Champions League finals.
The 2028 final is scheduled for May 27 at the Allianz Arena, which UEFA calls the Munich Football Arena. Munich was the only bidder for the match, and the stadium will stage the men’s Champions League final for the third time, following Chelsea’s 2012 penalty-shootout victory over Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain’s 5–0 win over Inter Milan in 2025.
Camp Nou will host the 2029 final after being selected ahead of Wembley Stadium. It will be the first Champions League final at Barcelona’s renovated stadium since 1999, when Manchester United scored twice in stoppage time to beat Bayern Munich 2–1. The venue also staged the 1989 final, making the 2029 match its third Champions League final overall.
The original description of Barcelona’s appointment as a return “since the competition’s early days” should be corrected. The 1999 final was a defining moment of the modern Champions League era, and the 2029 event will occur 30 years after that match rather than following an absence dating to the competition’s origins.
UEFA also confirmed Lyon’s Parc Olympique Lyonnais as the venue for the 2028 Women’s Champions League final. Cardiff’s Principality Stadium will host the 2029 women’s final, extending UEFA’s effort to place major finals in large, modern stadiums across Europe.
The 2028 Europa League final will take place at the National Arena in Bucharest, while Belgrade’s National Stadium of Serbia will host the 2029 final. Juventus Stadium in Turin has been selected for the 2028 Conference League final, followed by Budapest’s Puskás Aréna in 2029.
The announcement completes the next sequence of men’s Champions League host cities: Atlético Madrid’s Estadio Metropolitano in 2027, Munich in 2028 and Barcelona in 2029. It also gives both Bayern Munich and Barcelona a long runway to prepare for two of European football’s biggest occasions.
