How to buy UEFA Champions League Final tickets?
With the final matchup between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain now confirmed, all ticket distribution processes have kicked off.
There is a selection of ways you can secure your Champions League Final tickets:
- Official Club Ballots: Arsenal and PSG have roughly 16,800 tickets each. Arsenal’s priority windows open today, May 7, while PSG is using a wave system for loyal subscribers.
- UEFA Resale Portal: If you missed the March lottery, the Official UEFA Resale Platform is the only safe way to buy face-value tickets returned by other fans.
- Official Hospitality: For those with a larger budget (€3,500+), guaranteed seats are still available via the UEFA Hospitality portal, including premium lounge access.
- Neutral Capacity: Outside of the 34,000 tickets for the finalists, the remaining seats at the Puskás Aréna were allocated to the UEFA public ballot and the international football family.
- Secondary Market: For last-minute tickets to secure your space in the final, look to secondary marketplaces like StubHub.
How does the Champions League Final ballot work?
Since demand for the final is massive, UEFA does not sell tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.
To keep things fair, UEFA uses a lottery (ballot) system for the general public.
Here's everything you need to know:
Application Window
Fans typically apply for tickets through the official UEFA ticketing portal months in advance (the deadline for this year was March 19, 2026).
The Draw
After the window closes, all valid applications are randomly ranked.
Successful applicants are notified via email and given a strictly limited window to purchase their tickets (a maximum of two per person).
Mobile Ticketing
All tickets are delivered exclusively via the UEFA Mobile Tickets app.
This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized resale and ensure only genuine fans get through the gates.
