UEFA has confirmed that the 2025 Champions League Final will take place on Saturday 31 May at Munich’s Allianz Arena, home of Bayern Munich. The ground last staged the showpiece in 2012 when Chelsea defeated the hosts on penalties and has since undergone further upgrades, including a state of the art LED facade and expanded press facilities.

Kick off is scheduled for 21 00 Central European Summer Time which corresponds to 20 00 in the United Kingdom and 15 00 on the United States East Coast. Stadium gates will open four hours earlier, with an opening ceremony slated for 20 40 CEST featuring a yet to be announced headline music act.

The Allianz Arena capacity for the final is capped at seventy thousand in line with UEFA regulations that allocate spaces for broadcast camera platforms and hospitality structures. The famous colour changing exterior panels will glow purple and silver on match night to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the competition adopting its modern branding.

Munich city council confirmed fan zones at Königsplatz and the Olympic Park offering giant screens, entertainment stages and street food from midday on match day. Public transport operators will run twenty four hour services on all S Bahn lines, while tram routes 16 and 17 will extend to two minute intervals immediately after full time.

For television viewers the final will be carried in more than two hundred territories, with commentary feeds in a record thirty four languages. Goal line technology and semi automated offside will be in operation, alongside VAR housed in UEFA’s remote hub in Nyon. The winning captain will lift the eighteen kilogram trophy on a stage erected in the centre circle rather than the traditional VIP tribune.
