The next two hosts of the Champions League final are already known: London, where Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid will meet on June 1, then Munich on May 31, 2025 for the first edition in which the Champions League will have a new format.
Meeting in Dublin hours before the Europa League final between Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta Bergamo, UEFA's executive committee postponed its final decision for 2027 until September 24, waiting for the Italian Football Federation “to present information about the San Siro stadium renovation plans“.
Also on Thursday, the executive committee decided that the Europa League final will take place in 2026 in Istanbul, and the one in 2027 in Frankfurt. The Conference League final will be played in 2026 in Leipzig, and in 2027 in Istanbul.
As for women's football, Oslo will host the 2026 Champions League final, while the 2027 final remains on hold. Germany has already been awarded European Cup finals in 2026 and 2027,”so the candidacy of the city of Stuttgart cannot be accepted“, UEFA explained.
