The 2027 UEFA Europa League final will be the final match of the 2026–27 UEFA Europa League, the 56th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 18th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League. It will be played at the FrankFurt Arena in Frankfurt, Germany, on 26 May 2027.
The winners will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League in the 2027 UEFA Super 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).
