The Uefa Champions League final is set to take place in Budapest on Saturday, 30 May, featuring defending champions Paris Saint-Germain against Arsenal. The match will kick off at 5pm BST (12pm ET), three hours earlier than in previous years, a change Uefa implemented to enhance the overall fan experience, improve logistics, and reach a wider global audience, especially younger viewers.
Revenge and History
This final presents Arsenal with an opportunity for revenge, as Paris Saint-Germain defeated them 3-1 on aggregate in last season's semi-finals before securing the title. For the first time since the Champions League rebrand in 1992, the final will not be available free-to-air in the UK, with exclusive coverage on TNT Sports 1, while viewers in the US can watch on CBS and Paramount+.
Arsenal's Double Bid
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side enters the final having recently won the Premier League title, aiming to complete a historic double. The Killers have been confirmed to headline the pre-match entertainment. Fans travelling from North London to Budapest can find travel details in our accompanying guide.
