The clock above counts down to the 2027 UEFA Champions League Final on Saturday May 29, 2027 at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, home of Atletico Madrid and the host venue for European club football's biggest annual occasion.
The 2027 Champions League Final is the climax of the third season under UEFA's revised 36-team league phase. Madrid hosts the final for the third time in the modern era after Real Madrid's old Estadio Santiago Bernabeu staged the 1957 and 1969 European Cup finals; the 2010 final was at the Bernabeu and the 2019 final at Wanda Metropolitano. The newly rebranded Metropolitano Stadium has a capacity of 70,460.
A Madrid final brings extra significance for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid supporters, who follow club tradition of finishing every season with deep European runs. With Real Madrid having lifted the trophy 15 times - more than any other club - and Atletico chasing a maiden Champions League title, the venue choice gives the 2027 edition added home-city stakes. The Metropolitano hosted the 2018-19 final won by Liverpool over Tottenham.
Per UEFA scheduling, kick-off is at 21:00 CEST. The pre-match opening ceremony has been a fixture since 2008 and is expected to feature a marquee musical performance. The match runs 90 minutes plus extra time and penalties if needed. Standard UEFA technology applies: VAR with semi-automated offside, optional concussion subs, and full goal-line technology.
In the UK the final is on TNT Sports and free-to-air on Channel 4. Spain has it on Movistar Plus+. The US streams on Paramount+ and TNT. India is on Sony Sports and Sony LIV. The 21:00 CEST kick-off is 20:00 BST, 15:00 ET, 00:30 IST Sunday, and 05:00 AEST Sunday.
European club football fans also track the Champions League Final 2026 in Budapest, the 2028 final at Wembley, the Europa League Final 2027 in Istanbul, and the UEFA Euro 2028 Final.
