More Details On 2026 Champions League Final Matchup

In this year’s Champions League Final, PSG will meet Arsenal, who recently won its first Premier League championship in two decades, at Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary.

The Gunners are still seeking their first Champions League title, while last year’s victory for PSG marked only the second time a French team claimed the trophy.

A win this weekend for the Ligue 1 side would also mark only the second time a club won back-to-back Champions League titles since the tournament rebranded in the mid-1990s. La Liga club Real Madrid also won three consecutive championships from 2016-18.

Meanwhile, Arsenal and PSG, who are both among the world’s top 10 most valuable soccer teams per a recent Forbes analysis, last met in 2025 during the Champions League semifinals. PSG won both of the matches — 1-0 at Emirates Stadium and 2-1 at the Parc des Princes.
