The 2027 UEFA Conference League final will be the final match of the 2026–27 UEFA Conference League, the sixth season of Europe's tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the third season since it was renamed from the UEFA Europa Conference League to the UEFA Conference League. It will be played at Beşiktaş Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, on 2 June 2027. However, if the New Ankara Stadium in Ankara is completed on time, the Turkish Football Federation will request UEFA to host the match there.
The winners will qualify to enter the league phase of the 2027–28 UEFA Europa League, unless they have already qualified for the Champions League or Europa League through their league performance (in which case the access list will be rebalanced).
Venue
Host selection On 17 May 2023, UEFA opened the bidding process for the 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 30,000 to 60,000 preferred. The 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

Beşiktaş Stadium was selected as the venue by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, on 22 May 2024. This will be the second European final to take place at Beşiktaş Stadium, having hosted the previous season's Europa League final. After discussions with stakeholders, the Turkish Football Federation decided to request UEFA to instead host the final at the New Ankara Stadium in Ankara, which is currently under construction. However, this is contingent on the stadium's completion in time.
