Overview
- The final is scheduled for Saturday, May 30, 2026, at Puskás Aréna in Budapest with kickoff widely listed as 11:00 a.m. Peru time and 1:00 p.m. Argentina time.
- Broadcasters and streamers are confirmed across regions with ESPN and Disney+ carrying the game in much of South America and a mix of regional rights holders operating elsewhere.
- German referee Daniel Siebert will officiate the match with Bastian Dankert on VAR, and bookmakers list PSG as a slight favorite in pre-match odds.
- The clubs arrive by contrasting routes: PSG reached the final after tough knockout wins over Chelsea, Liverpool and Bayern Munich while Arsenal went unbeaten in the group stage and eliminated Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting CP and Atlético Madrid.
- The result will shape club futures and narratives by either cementing PSG’s recent European rise with back-to-back titles or completing Arsenal’s long-term project with the only major trophy missing from their cabinet.
