The 2027 UEFA Champions League final will be the final match of the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League, the 72nd season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 35th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League. It will be played at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain, on 5 June 2027.
The winners will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2026–27 UEFA Europa League in the 2027 UEFA Super Cup, compete in the final of the 2027 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, and qualify for the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup. The winners will also qualify to enter the league phase of the 2027–28 UEFA Champions League, unless they have already qualified for the Champions League through their league performance (in which case the access list will be rebalanced).
Venue
Host selection
First bidding process On 17 May 2023, UEFA opened the bidding process for the 2027 final, which was held in parallel with that of the 2026 final. Interested bidders could bid for either one or both of the finals. Additionally, bidding associations could only be appointed one UEFA final in a given year. The proposed venues had to include natural grass and be ranked as a UEFA category four stadium, with a gross capacity of at least 70,000 preferred. The first bidding timeline was as follows:
17 May 2023: Applications formally invited 17 July 2023: Closing date for registering intention to bid 26 July 2023: Bid requirements made available to bidders 15 November 2023: Submission of preliminary bid dossier 21 February 2024: Submission of final bid dossier 22 May 2024: Appointment of host
UEFA announced on 18 July 2023 that three associations had expressed interest in hosting the 2026 and 2027 finals during the first bidding process.

The UEFA Executive Committee suspended the decision on the host appointment during their meeting in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, on 22 May 2024. This delay allowed the Italian Football Federation to submit additional information on the refurbishment plans for the San Siro in Milan. At the subsequent Executive Committee meeting in Prague, Czech Republic, on 24 September 2024, the San Siro was not selected to host the final. This decision was made because the municipality of Milan could not guarantee that refurbishment works would not affect the stadium and its surroundings during the final. Consequently, UEFA opted to open a new bidding process for the final.
Second bidding process A second bidding process was opened on 30 September 2024 with the same venue requirements, though associations that already were appointed to host a final in 2027 could not bid. The bidding timeline was as follows:
30 September 2024: Applications formally invited 21 October 2024: Closing date for registering intention to bid 24 October 2024: Bid requirements made available to bidders 15 January 2025: Submission of preliminary bid dossier 19 March 2025: Submission of final bid dossier 11 September 2025: Appointment of host
UEFA announced on 23 October 2024 that two associations had expressed interest in hosting the 2027 final during the second bidding process.

The UEFA Executive Committee was originally to appoint the host during their meeting in Bilbao, Spain, on 21 May 2025, but it was postponed "for operational reasons" until September 2025. The Estadio Metropolitano was selected as the venue by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Tirana, Albania, on 11 September 2025. This will be the second time the Metropolitano will be hosting the final since having previously done so in 2019.
