About the match
Beşiktaş Park hosts a Europa League final for the first time. Kickoff 22:00 local in Istanbul — late even for this competition, and a brutal slot for anyone travelling from north-western Europe. The winner takes a Champions League group-stage spot for 2026-27, which for half the likely finalists is worth more than the trophy. TNT Sports has it exclusively in the UK; no free-to-air partner this year. Last time Istanbul hosted a UEFA club final was the 2019 Super Cup — Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties at this same stadium after a 2-2 draw. Different era, similar Bosphorus heat.
Kickoff 21:00 CEST / 22:00 local.
