FIFA has revealed the venues for the inaugural 2026 Women's Champions Cup, with the final set for Arsenal Stadium in London on February 1. Semifinals will take place at Brentford Stadium on January 28, featuring Gotham FC against Corinthians and Arsenal facing the winner between ASFAR and Wuhan Chegu Jiangda. The tournament crowns the first global women's club champion.
FIFA announced on December 12, 2025, from Jersey City, N.J., the venues for the first-ever Women's Champions Cup, a sanctioned club world championship uniting continental winners.
The final will occur at Arsenal FC's iconic Arsenal Stadium in London on February 1, 2026. Both semifinals are scheduled for January 28 at Brentford Stadium. In the first semifinal, NWSL and Concacaf W Champions Cup winners Gotham FC will face Brazilian side Corinthians. The second semifinal pits host Arsenal, European champions, against the victor of a preliminary matchup between Morocco's ASFAR, CAF Women's Champions League winners, and China's Wuhan Chegu Jiangda, AFC Women's Champions League victors.
Gotham FC qualified by defeating Tigres UANL 1-0 in the Concacaf W Champions Cup final at Estadio Universitario in Monterrey, Mexico, earlier in 2025. This marked their first continental title and secured a spot in the 2028 FIFA Women's Club World Cup. To cap the year, Gotham won the NWSL Championship 1-0 against the Washington Spirit in November 2025, entering the global event with two major trophies in under 12 months.
The competition, which began preliminary rounds this fall, brings together top clubs from each confederation. The London winner will be recognized as the world champion of women's club football. FIFA plans to release further details on matches, broadcasts, and logistics soon.
