UEFA has received declarations of interest from 15 member associations to host the 2028 and 2029 finals of its major club competitions, including the Champions League. Munich's Allianz Arena is the sole bidder for the 2028 men's final, while Wembley Stadium in London and Barcelona's renovated Camp Nou are vying for 2029. Final decisions will be made in September 2026 after bids are submitted by June 10, 2026.

UEFA announced on Friday that it has received non-binding declarations of interest from 15 national associations for hosting the finals of the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, and Women's Champions League in 2028 and 2029. The process began on July 11, 2025, with a deadline for expressions of interest on October 22, 2025.

For the men's Champions League, Germany's Fußball Arena München (Allianz Arena) is the only bidder for 2028, having previously hosted the final in 2025 when Paris Saint-Germain defeated Inter Milan 5-0.

The renovated Camp Nou, with a capacity of 105,000, will be Europe's largest upon completion.

Other competitions also drew bids. The Europa League finalists for 2028 and 2029 include venues in France (Parc Olympique Lyonnais or Parc des Princes), Italy (Juventus Stadium), Romania (National Arena), Serbia (National Stadium), and Turkey (Ankara 19 Mayıs Stadium). Conference League bids feature France (Stade Pierre-Mauroy), Hungary (Puskás Aréna), Kazakhstan (Astana Arena or Almaty Stadium), Poland (Arena Gdańsk), and Finland (Helsinki Olympic Stadium). For the Women's Champions League, 2028 options include France (Parc Olympique Lyonnais), Spain (San Mamés Stadium), Switzerland (St. Jakob-Park), and Turkey (Ali Sami Yen Stadium), while 2029 contenders are France (Parc Olympique Lyonnais), Republic of Ireland (Dublin Arena), Switzerland (St. Jakob-Park), and Wales (National Stadium of Wales).

The UEFA Executive Committee will appoint hosts in September 2026. This season's Champions League final is at Budapest's Puskás Aréna, with Atletico Madrid's stadium hosting in 2027.
