UEFA Confirms Atletico Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium for 2027 Champions League Final

UEFA has confirmed that Atletico Madrid’s Estadio Metropolitano will host the 2027 UEFA Champions League final, while Munich’s Allianz Arena and Barcelona’s Camp Nou have been selected to stage the finals in 2028 and 2029, respectively.

The 2026/27 Champions League final is scheduled for Saturday, June 5, 2027, in Madrid. The Metropolitano will host the European football showpiece for the second time, having previously staged the 2019 final, when Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 to lift the trophy.

According to information published on UEFA’s official website, the three stadiums will host the competition’s finals in successive seasons. The announcement provides an early picture of the venues that will welcome Europe’s leading clubs as they compete for the continent’s most prestigious club trophy.

The Metropolitano has served as Atletico Madrid’s home ground since 2017 and will mark its 10th anniversary in 2027. The reconstructed stadium replaced the club’s former Vicente Calderón home and was named in honour of the original Estadio Metropolitano, where Atletico played until 1966.

Located on Avenida Luis Aragonés in north-eastern Madrid, the stadium has a capacity of approximately 70,000 spectators. It officially opened on September 16, 2017, when Atletico defeated Malaga 1-0 in a La Liga fixture, with Antoine Griezmann scoring the venue’s first goal.

UEFA has also highlighted the stadium’s environmental features, including LED lighting, solar panels and a rainwater recycling system used to irrigate the pitch. Beyond football, the venue has hosted rugby events, boxing and music concerts, and is among the stadiums shortlisted for matches at the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

Meanwhile, Munich Football Arena, commonly known as the Allianz Arena and home to Bayern Munich, will host the 2028 final. The venue previously staged the Champions League final in 2012 and 2025, alongside other major international football events.

Barcelona’s Camp Nou has been selected for the 2029 final, marking its third time hosting the European Cup or Champions League showpiece. The stadium previously staged the finals in 1989, when AC Milan defeated Steaua Bucharest 4-0, and in 1999, when Manchester United beat Bayern Munich 2-1. The three selections give Madrid, Munich and Barcelona the opportunity to welcome Europe’s elite clubs in three consecutive seasons.
