2028 Champions League Final to Be Held in Munich, Wembley and Camp Nou Competing for 2029

The 2028 UEFA Champions League final will be staged at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena, the club’s iconic home ground. Meanwhile, UEFA has confirmed that London’s Wembley Stadium and Barcelona’s historic Camp Nou are the frontrunners to host the 2029 final, with the governing body expected to announce its decision in September next year.

Future Finals and Venue Bidding

UEFA released an official list of applications from member associations, confirming that the Champions League final will not take place in New York before 2030. Looking ahead, the 2026 final will be held at Atlético Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium, and the 2027 final is scheduled for the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary.

For the 2028 edition, Munich was the sole bidder. Notably, the Allianz Arena also hosted the 2024–25 Champions League final, highlighting its continued appeal as a premier European venue.

Wembley and Camp Nou: A Historic Rivalry

Wembley last hosted a Champions League final in the 2023–24 season, while Camp Nou has not staged the competition’s showpiece since 1999, when Manchester United famously triumphed 2–1 over Bayern Munich with two stoppage-time goals.

Camp Nou is currently undergoing major renovations and is expected to hold 105,000 spectators upon completion, positioning it as one of the largest stadiums in Europe. Ahead of its official reopening for competitive matches, Barcelona will host an open training session for fans next Friday, featuring star players such as Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski, allowing supporters to experience the revamped pitch and facilities. No competitive fixtures will be held there until the stadium is fully operational.
