About the match

The first Champions League final in Budapest. Puskás Aréna takes its place in the rotation after hosting the 2023 Europa League final. Kickoff 18:00 CET — an unusually early slot UEFA settled on a few seasons ago to widen the global TV audience. Finalists confirmed after the 5/6 May second legs. TNT Sports carries it exclusively in the UK, with the BBC sitting this one out — no free-to-air UCL final at home this year. Whoever lifts the trophy here books the European Super Cup against the Europa League winners and the FIFA Club World Cup spot in 2029.

Kickoff 18:00 CEST. Finalists TBD pending semi-final 2nd legs.
