Allianz Arena to Host 2028 Champions League Final
The Allianz Arena, home to FC Bayern München, will host the men's Champions League final once again in May 2028. This marks the third time the stadium will hold the event, having previously hosted it in 2012 and 2025. The UEFA executive committee has approved Munich City Council's bid, scheduling the final for May 27, 2028.
The event will span four days, from May 25 to 28, including two fan zones located in the city center and a centrally positioned Champions Festival. Fans can expect a lively atmosphere celebrating European club football's biggest match.
Statements from Key Figures
Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO of FC Bayern, said: "This is great news for us: the Allianz Arena, FC Bayern and Munich stand for international appeal, real hospitality and the highest organisational standards. UEFA knows that, and sports fans from around the world experience that. We are pleased to be the hosts of the Champions League final for the third time after 2012 and 2025. We want to provide the fans with another incredible experience, and present Munich as a cosmopolitan, sports-loving and ideally equipped host city. Such a big event can also give an important boost to the bid for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which we as FC Bayern are fully supporting. We will once again show that Munich knows how to do big sporting events."
Munich Mayor Dominik Krause added: "The fact that UEFA has put its trust in Munich again, just three years after the 2025 final, is a special honour for our city. Munich is synonymous with great sporting moments, excellent facilities and passionate fans. We look forward to welcoming guests from all over the world again in 2028 and celebrating a festival of football together."
