UEFA Confirms Munich and Barcelona as Champions League Final Hosts for 2028 and 2029

UEFA has officially confirmed the host venues for the 2028 and 2029 Champions League finals, selecting two of Europe’s most iconic football stadiums for the continent's premier club competition. The 2028 final is set to take place at the Allianz Arena in Munich, while the 2029 edition will be hosted at the newly rebuilt Camp Nou in Barcelona.

These selections mark a return to historic venues for the tournament. Munich recently hosted the 2025 final, a match that saw Paris Saint-Germain secure their maiden Champions League title with a dominant 5-0 victory over Inter Milan. Meanwhile, the Camp Nou last served as the venue for the final in 1999, a fixture famously remembered for Manchester United’s dramatic comeback, where they scored two goals in stoppage time to defeat Bayern Munich 2-1.

Broad European Hosting Strategy

The announcement also included host cities for several other major UEFA competitions, reflecting a wide distribution of events across the continent. Spain is set to maintain a significant presence in the European football calendar, as the 2027 final is already scheduled to be held at the Metropolitano in Madrid, meaning the country will host two finals within a three-year span.

Beyond the Champions League, UEFA confirmed the venues for the Europa League and Conference League finals. The Europa League final will head to Bucharest in 2028, followed by Belgrade in 2029. The Conference League finals have been awarded to Turin for 2028 and Budapest for 2029. Additionally, the UEFA Super Cup is scheduled to take place in Amsterdam in 2027 and Astana in 2028.

Women’s Champions League Venues

UEFA also finalized the hosting duties for the Women’s Champions League during the announcement. The 2028 final is slated to be held in Lyon, while the 2029 final will be hosted in Cardiff. These appointments continue the governing body's efforts to rotate major tournament finals across diverse European cities, providing a variety of settings for the conclusion of their club competitions over the coming years.
