UEFA selected four venues for the 2026 and 2027 Champions League finals, balancing historic significance and stakeholder input amid ongoing discussions on league match locations abroad.

  • UEFA announced on Thursday in Tirana that Madrid will host the 2027 men's Champions League final and Warsaw the women's final.
  • This decision follows ongoing discussions about requests from Spain's and Italy's federations to stage domestic league matches abroad, reflecting rising commercial interest.
