How to Buy Champions League Tickets

Regular Matches (League Phase & Knockouts)

The home club sells all tickets through their normal channels. If you want to attend a Champions League group or knockout match, follow the home team's usual ticket-buying process - membership, general sale windows, and authorized resellers all apply exactly as they do for domestic matches.

UEFA mandates a minimum 5% of stadium capacity for away fans in a segregated section. Away tickets are distributed through the visiting club, not sold publicly.

For the 2026-27 season, UEFA caps away ticket prices at 50 EUR.

Because tickets are sold through each home club, the route differs from match to match. Every upcoming fixture links straight to tickets, our team guide (transport, pubs, and stadium tips), and hotels near the stadium.

Hospitality is via the home club's allocation - you'll be seated with home supporters (no away colors or kits). Official UEFA hospitality via P1 Travel.

All tickets are mobile-only via the UEFA Mobile Tickets app. The purchaser's ticket is non-transferable, while the second ticket can be transferred once.
