Tickets for the Champions League Final with Hellotickets

Last night, Arsenal took a giant step closer to lifting the Champions League trophy for the first time in their history as they beat Atlético Madrid in the first of the semi-finals.

Bukayo Saka scored just before half-time, and Arsenal kept a clean sheet to see out the win and reach the final of the competition for the first time since 2006.

They will play either Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain, who face off tonight in Munich to decide who the second finalist will be after an astonishing first leg which ended 5-4 to the current holders, PSG.

When and where will the Champions League Final 2026 be held?

This year’s Champions League Final is scheduled for Saturday, 30 May and will be kicking off at 5pm UK time (6pm local time).

The venue is Hungary’s Puskás Aréna in Budapest, named after the legendary Hungarian player of the fifties and sixties, Ferenc Puskás.

American band The Killers are the main act for the opening ceremony and will play in front of a capacity crowd of around 67,000 supporters.

How to buy tickets for the Champions League Final

If you are a fan of one of the clubs that has reached the final, you may be able to buy tickets via that club’s official allocation.

Clubs generally prioritise season ticket holders and supporters who regularly attend away matches, so it is likely you would need to meet these criteria to be able to purchase a ticket via this method.

Arsenal have released ticket information for how their allocation will be sold.
