UEFA Names Allianz Arena and Camp Nou as 2028 and 2029 Champions League Final Hosts

The choice reflects UEFA’s confidence that Barcelona’s renovated Spotify Camp Nou will be ready to stage a roughly 105,000‑capacity final.

Overview

  • UEFA’s Executive Committee formally confirmed the hosts at its meeting in Thessaloniki on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.
  • Munich’s Allianz Arena was awarded the 2028 final after submitting the only formal bid and will stage the Champions League for a third time.
  • Barcelona’s redeveloped Spotify Camp Nou won the 2029 rights ahead of Wembley, with UEFA citing the stadium project and institutional guarantees in the bid evaluation.
  • FC Barcelona projects the Camp Nou rebuild to reach about 105,000 capacity with work finishing in early 2028, a timetable UEFA relied on when approving the 2029 selection.
  • The Thessaloniki meeting also assigned venues for the women’s and other club finals and advanced changes to national‑team competitions, a package UEFA framed as part of broader scheduling and reform plans.
