UEFA Reopens Bidding for 2027 Champions League Final

UEFA announced that the 2027 men's Champions League final will not be held in Milan due to uncertainties over the future of the San Siro stadium. The city of Milan could not guarantee the stadium's availability, prompting UEFA to reopen the bidding process, with a decision expected in May/June 2025.

UEFA has confirmed that the 2027 men's Champions League final will no longer be held in Milan, citing uncertainties surrounding the refurbishment of the San Siro stadium. The municipality of Milan could not ensure that the stadium and its surroundings would be free from construction during the period of the final.

Due to this, UEFA is reopening the bidding process to find a suitable venue, with a decision anticipated in May/June 2025. The 2026 final is set to be hosted in Budapest, Hungary.

Both Budapest and Milan were initially in the running for the 2026 and 2027 finals, but now, with Milan out, new candidates will emerge for the latter year.
