Arsenal have officially secured their place in the 2025/26 Champions League final, where they will face reigning holders Paris Saint-Germain.
Mikel Arteta’s side reached the showpiece after a 1-0 second-leg victory over Atlético Madrid, courtesy of a clinical late first-half winner from Bukayo Saka.
The Gunners’ path to Budapest was forged through a hard-fought 2-1 aggregate triumph, while PSG edged out Bayern Munich 6-5 in a thrilling semi-final contest.
The highly anticipated final is scheduled for Saturday, May 30, 2026, at the iconic Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary.
In a significant shift, UEFA has brought the kick-off time forward to 5:00 PM BST (6:00 PM local time) to improve accessibility and the matchday experience for traveling fans.
Arsenal supporters face a ticketing challenge, with the club allocated just 16,824 tickets in the 67,215-capacity stadium; however, a live screening at the Emirates Stadium has been confirmed for those staying in London.
Due to the tournament’s bracket system, the Gunners are designated as the “away” team and may be forced to wear their blue zig-zag away strip or burgundy third kit if a color clash is identified.
With both sides also battling for domestic honors, this final represents a chance for PSG to secure back-to-back titles or for Arsenal to lift their maiden European Cup.
