2026-27 Season

The pinnacle of European club football. 36 clubs compete in the league phase before knockout rounds decide who lifts the trophy.

How to Buy Champions League Tickets

Regular Matches (League Phase & Knockouts)

Away ticket cap

€50

UEFA-set maximum for away-section tickets, 2026-27. Away seats are allocated through your own club.

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.

Since tickets are sold through the home club, we've built detailed matchday guides for many Champions League teams below. For each upcoming fixture, you'll find links to tickets, our team guide (with transport, pubs, and stadium tips), and nearby hotels.

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.

The Final - Estadio Metropolitano, Madrid, Spain

Saturday, June 5, 2027|Estadio Metropolitano, Madrid, Spain

UEFA sells final tickets directly via lottery at uefa.com/tickets. This is NOT first-come-first-served - it is a random draw after the application window closes.

UEFA confirms the seat allocation and per-club splits closer to the final. A share of tickets goes to the general public through the lottery, typically limited to two per person.

Prices run from lower-cost Fans First tickets (via club allocation) up to premium categories, with hospitality packages at the top end. UEFA publishes the exact 2026-27 prices before the final.

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.

The public lottery application window for the 2026-27 final opens in spring 2027; check uefa.com/tickets for the exact dates.
