# 2025 UEFA Champions League final

The 2025 UEFA Champions League final will be the final match of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League, the 70th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 33rd season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League. It will be played at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on 31 May 2025. This will be the first UEFA Champions League final played under the Swiss system format.
The winners will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup.

## Venue

This will be the second UEFA Champions League final hosted at the Allianz Arena; the first was held in 2012. Overall, it will be the fifth European Cup final to be held in Munich, with the 1979, 1993, and 1997 finals taking place at the Olympiastadion. Each of the previous four finals played in Munich saw a first-time winner of the competition crowned (Nottingham Forest in 1979, Marseille in 1993, Borussia Dortmund in 1997, and Chelsea in 2012). The final will also be the ninth to take place in Germany, having also taken place in Stuttgart in 1959 and 1988, Gelsenkirchen in 2004, and Berlin in 2015, equalling the record of nine European Cup finals held in Italy and Spain. The Allianz Arena previously hosted matches at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and was chosen as a host venue for UEFA Euro 2020 and UEFA Euro 2024.

### Host selection

On 16 July 2021, the UEFA Executive Committee announced that the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul would host the 2023 UEFA Champions League final instead of Munich. This was because Istanbul twice had the Champions League final intended for their city relocated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally planned as hosts for the 2020 final, the match was moved to Lisbon and the final hosts shifted back a year, with Istanbul instead awarded the 2021 final. However, weeks prior to the final, the 2021 fixture was moved to Porto due to travel restrictions.
Munich, originally selected to host the 2022 final by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 24 September 2019, was later planned to host the 2023 final after the shifting of the final hosts. However, the city was awarded the 2025 final instead after being bumped from 2023 by Istanbul.
