Arsenal and Paris St-Germain have secured their spots in the 2026 Champions League final after defeating Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, respectively. This highly anticipated match will occur on Saturday, 30 May, at Budapest's Puskas Arena, with kickoff scheduled for 17:00 BST. UEFA has opted for an earlier start time compared to the traditional 20:00, aiming to "enhance the matchday experience and benefit fans, teams and host cities."

Ticket Information

With just 24 days until the final, Arsenal fans are urged to act quickly to secure tickets. The first priority for ticket sales will be given to Arsenal season-ticket holders, who can purchase their tickets starting at 13:00 on Thursday. However, with only 16,824 tickets available, many fans may be disappointed. Those who have attended enough qualifying home and away games will have guaranteed access, while others will need to enter a ballot for a chance at the remaining tickets.

Ticket prices range from 70 euros (£61) to 950 euros (£821), with a limited number of tickets available for restricted views. Additionally, around 4,600 tickets will be available to the general public, while a significant portion—21,400 tickets—will be allocated to the local organizing structure, UEFA's member national associations, commercial partners, broadcasters, and the broader "UEFA football family."

Venue Details

The Puskas Arena, which has a capacity of 67,000, will host its first Champions League final. Located in eastern Budapest, the stadium is named after the legendary Hungarian footballer Ferenc Puskas, who is also honored with FIFA's award for the best goal of the year. UEFA selects the venues for major European finals, allowing football associations and stadiums to bid for the opportunity to host such prestigious events. The Puskas Arena has previously welcomed Champions League matches and was the site of the 2023 Europa League final.

As Arsenal aims for their first Champions League title in 20 years, PSG will be looking to defend their championship from 2025. The clash promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of Europe's elite clubs.
