2027 Champions League Final Bidding Reopened

Azerbaijan and Spain are competing to host the 2027 UEFA Champions League final, with Baku's Olympic Stadium and Madrid's Metropolitano Stadium as the leading candidates. This bidding process was reopened after UEFA withdrew the hosting rights from Milan due to uncertainties over the San Siro stadium's availability amid upcoming renovations. Final bids must be submitted by March 19, and UEFA plans to announce the chosen venue in May 2025. Baku has never hosted a Champions League final, making it a potential historical venue, while Madrid's Metropolitano has prior experience from the 2019 final. Additionally, several cities are vying for the 2027 Women's Champions League final, including Warsaw and Barcelona. Confirmed hosts for the next two Champions League finals are Munich in 2025 and Budapest in 2026.
